i had a dream one night that i was walking away,
but with lead feet i stood still.
my whole life i have tried
and tried and never been successful.
there has always been
something
or someone pulling me
back into reality.
the dream of what i wanted fading.


i am OK now though.
admitting my own flaws
replaying all of my agonizing out takes.

like a bad sitcom they play and play;
and every season is a new series with the same lines...

funny and sadistic at every showing.


i had a dream one night -
one i wish i could remember,
but it fades as i wake
and i am left
wanting.


wanting to know who my future would hold,
where it would be
and how it would end.

the beauty of dreams is
they never go away,
and at each wink of sleep they are there...
