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

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I like your Poem. I would have done some things different, but the Poem does well communicate frustration and futility.
