Foolish Dreams
I have the most foolish Dreams
In my dreams, I wake to sunlight pouring in streams.
In my dreams, I am unburdened by fear, failure or disease.
In my dreams, the sky is blue and the air is clean.
In my dreams, I only see individuals never a multitude
In my dreams, I bridge the gap between companionship and solitude
In my dreams, I walk with my head held high
There is no self doubt nor reason to hide tears I have cried
In my dreams, the nights are longer
There are no boogie men so I have peaceful slumbers
In my dreams, I have friends and feel no heartache
In my dreams, I never let go I give all it takes
In my dreams, I'm not afraid to laugh or feel
In my dreams, I'm surrounded by peace, it is truly surreal
In my dreams, I am all that I am and that is enough
In my dreams, I know what it is to love and be loved
Every night I go to sleep and dream of things I won't ever admit I seek
And every morn I rise to a wet pillow and tearstained cheeks
Truly I have the most foolish Dreams
My mind is endlessly breaking my heart making me wish for the wrong things
