a single dream
can free
one from the world,
and i have millions and billions
maybe even zillions;
i am a dreamer
who will set the world free
from the nightmares
give wings to those who have forgotten
theirs
will contribute to the light work
of doing good onto others
because helping people always heals—
i am a song that shines
brighter than
stars
when the night comes because i am a light
that never dies
i refuse to succumb to the darkness around me
because i believe in my dreams and worlds inside
my soul
i know they can protect me from the sharpest
fang of reality
because monsters are real but so are
miracles.
