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. Alexis Y. 02/22/2021
