Dreams

I used to be a dreamer
I had things I wanted to see
To do
To know
I wanted to be rich
To be famous
To move to California
I wanted to do something
Something everyone would remember
I wanted to do everything
Everything I thought would make me happy

There are things I’ve come to realize
These things
They don’t make me happy
These things
They are dreams
What’s the point in dreams
If you don’t have someone
Someone special to share them with

Now I have one dream
A dream that can breathe life
Life into all of the other dreams
I have a dream that can change a life
A life full of disappointments
Disappointments and broken hearts.
I have a dream that I want more than anything.

I want a dream that is a reality
Not a dream

its sad that you no longer dream, but your poem explains this well, still you should never give up on dreams, if they are meant to be they will become reality in the end.
best of luck and thanks for entering (((((((hugs)))))) joss.

Your first shot hit the bullseye.
This was great, I loved the repetition of words from one line thought brought to the next line, keep on writing, my friend. good luck!
