One Word #6
Word: Dream
Dream, Noun, Contemplate the possibility of doing something or that something might be the case

If I were to simply race forward without another thought,
Would you reach out for me and pull me back in your embrace?
Tell me that I don’t know what I’m doing and that’s it’s useless,
Every time that I attempt to give a chase. 

A white dress on my frame and on the picture frame,
With a bouquet of sunflowers and felicia daisies dancing in my hands.
I wonder if I were to walk through a field aimlessly, 
Would I make it to the ocean’s pale sands?

Of course not, that’s just another dream I’ve made up,
You were the one to shut that down without another thought. 
Without thinking about my own repercussions, 
I shut down my own dreams, the ones I’ve so long sought. 

“It just doesn’t make any sense,” So instead of trying,
I’ll just throw away these words I’ve tried to make for you.
I was hoping, praying, one day they’d make it to you,
But the train has already passed me by; there’s nothing else to do. 

With dreams shattered into many little pieces, I continue on autopilot, 
Wondering when I’ll eventually run out of fuel and stop running.
On that day, in the fields, I wonder if I could return to that,
Just another bright day with the wind blowing and sun shinning. 

I know this is nothing more than a cliche ripped off the screen,
A drama that will surely have it’s ups and downs. 
But of course, that’s all I’m about, isn’t it?
Just nothing more than false words that drift and constant frowns. 

But if I were to choose to live on my dreams and feed on reality,
Would you support me with a cheer, a revere of your words? 
For right now, I need to sleep and make more dreams for myself,
And escape to where the water flows and the sky is full of blue birds. 

If I were to simply race forward without another thought,
I’m sure, this time, that you would bring me back in your embrace.
Tell me that there’s a wide world out there and satisfy me, 
So I no longer have to run to my dreams and give chase.
