She Was Afraid

She was afraid ,
Afraid to wake up everyday,
Afraid to live those dreams,
She lived in her dreams,
Dreams woven with the threads of imaginations,
Imaginations that let her see the world,
A world far away from the reality,
Reality which she was always afraid of,
Afraid to lose her very own self,
Her SELF, someone she met in her dreams,
Dreams that made her the person she is,
A person who is strong,
Strong enough to break all the rules,
Rules that bounded her, not by laws but by soul,
A soul, a free soul, one she always wished for,
Wishes they never come true, yet in her imaginations they were all real,
So real, that she became jealous of her own SELF,
Jealous because she couldn't live everything that her imaginary self can,
Everything she wished for was hers, yet so far,
Far!! When did dreams became that far?
They are just hers  she believed,
Belief was about to break, as the alarm rang.
Yes, she wad afraid to wake up,
Afraid to let her dreams vanish
Afraid to let herself vanish,
Afraid to play a new role all over again on the new day.
Yes she was afraid to wake up. She was not not ready to loose herself.
