I’M
A DREAMER
I’m
a believer
And
any dream I will retrieve
Retrieve
for prosperity
Not
for the riches that money can buy
But
for the comforts, that’ll help me pass this by
I’ll
stretch and pose
But
I’ll hold my head up with poise
It’ll
always be always
Loving,
loving you
Through
and through
This
stage is not mine
My
stage is elsewhere
Where
there is more care and care
Opportunities
Chances
Prospects
Openings
And
the biggest of them all the breaks
Breaks
from the heartaches
I
have forgiven myself!
All
the wrongs that I have done
The
grudges now dissipated
And
all I now need is just to be friends
Nothing
more or less
This
disheveled life is free from strife
Only
because I have filled in the cracks
The
fissures
The
fractures
Fractures
that have seen me broken
Battered
and shattered
And
now all I feel is freedom
Freedom
to be me
So
here I stand believing in the future
Believing
that one day
You
won’t forget to pass this way
The
real, real you!
Not
the one that is full of pride
The
one who is not afraid to hide
Hide
behind an ego
Egotistically
puffed up and out
There
is no going back to the start
Are
you still searching?
Are
you surviving without me?
Is
it cold in your limelight?
Is
there someone to ease the pain?
We
cannot go back to the start
Then
let’s make a new start
Where
we can remain friends
I
truly believe we can be
If
only, if only
I
change, change
I’ve
lost the trust
What
comes round, comes round
Lost
the trust with you
How
do I ever get that back with you?
If
I let you in would I could i?
If
I let you in, you would need to prove
Prove
to me that I can trust you
You
broke that trust!
With
broken trust throughout the years
See
it is just me letting you know how I feel
But
I am tentatively learning
That
huge word
TRUST
Yet
I am a dreamer
A
believer
Composing
my composure
With
all my emotions
Hoping
and wishing
That
we can be friends
And
stay friends
