I'M A DREAMER (New Poem)

 

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
