Dreams

Dreams

I am a dreamer, bearing the flag of fantasy high and proud.

I am a dreamer, with aspirations writhing inside my soul; waiting to sprout out.

A hope, a challenge, a demand, a carriage –

A dream can be all these, or simply mean salvage.

For me a dream is freedom

Freedom to spread my wings and fly.

The moment where I can breathe in the golden dust

And transform into something magnificent.

With the light of perseverance guiding me

Let the world come forth and see-

That I will attain my dreams,

And they will always live within me.

For without my dreams I am nothing.

An empty shell, which without its sustenance is cracking.

For my dreams are my breath, blood and sweat –

My dreams are my bread.
