A Dream I Will Always Chase

When asked "Where is it your from?" It caught me off guard, I stop to think Of a beat up record whose song When sung makes your heart sink I have been a fool again I see sad i don't belong anywhere Thinking here I shouldn't be doesn't matter if life is unfair "Wow I haven't learned a thing" Emotionless sharply I inhale chest feels so tight it stings again I am just an epic fail To not stay long is that wrong avoiding feelings I now feel Now I have got to stay strong The pain I must try to conceal "Nowhere" I say avoiding your stare "Never stayed long in any place!" Stating truthful I couldnt dare After a dream I'll not catch but always chase

Brenda, A year later, and I must humbly agree with Eve. This poem amazes. Still searching for a place called home(?) Chasing dreams, there are worse things in life; many in fact. Have a nice day. -Richard

Chasing a dream doesn't always bring us what we expected of it. It's like a fantasy that becomes reality, resulting in a nightmare. But that is the negative side, so I'll be positive and add...Chasing a dream, no matter what lies at its end is better then letting it fly away and then asking, "What if?"
