Surviving After Dreams
there's a blemish
tainting my beautiful dreams
the dreams I cherish
with their lovely themes
the stain of despair
on delicate fabric
making me aware
of just how tragic
this life can be
when dreams become faded
leaving only reality
and a heart so jaded
as the blemish grows
and the stain does spread
a freezing wind blows
through my heart and head
my soul screams
protesting the loss
of comforting dreams
the beginning of all chaos
