A Dream Not Deferred

I stare in amazement, As you stand and scream... My heart screams but my lips don't move in parallel... We all flee, All but you, To safety they run, To you I sprint... I grab your hand and pull, But you are as if cemented, I lift, pull, and tug to my best but your legs are stubborn... You continue to scream as fear approaches us both, I look up to see... My eyes crack open, Heavy from peaceful sleep, The intensity from the dream still lingers, As immediately I begin to scribble in my pad. They say dreams are metaphorical representations, Of everyday situations, Or internal struggle... LESSON LEARNED: No matter how bad you want to help someone, The have to WANT and DESIRE help, You can't help the truly helpless... FRESH WRITTEN
