Giving Up On Vain Dreams

I would give up on vain dreams...the ones that won't let me see how
life is lived without the tears and the fears of being unloved:
if one of them drew a beautiful rainbow in my sunless sky!

i wrote a poem and at the end i said that until you are buried in the ground and covered with dirt your dreams can still come true. this was a great poem and so vivid in my mind, good work.
