Alexis Y. Poet Free verse

Dreamer

When I was a child, I was a dreamer.
I lived in the land of dreams.

If I desired it, it was possible. There 
were no dreams too big or small.

But I wasn't prepared for the dream
crusher and his twin, dream destroyer.

I was young and vulnerable, so I couldn't 
recognize them when they came my way.

They were like wolves in sheep's clothing.
I became a doubter of dreams instantly.

As the years went by and I got older and
matured, I started to dream again.

I realized that dreams are good for the
soul and you're never too old to dream.

Dreams are attainable, and they give one
something to live for and look forward to.

I chose not to let anyone crush my dreams, 
not even myself.
