I am a dreamer whose dreams are more than sleep
I wonder about all the things that I could be
I hear the songs of dreamers before
I see the words spilling from the lips
I want everyone to know the true meaning of what they say
I am a dreamer whose dreams are more than sleep
I pretend that everything is okay
I feel angry towards those who hate
I touch the minds of those that care
I worry that I will never be okay
I cry when friends fight and never forget
I am a dreamer whose dreams are more than sleep
I understand not everything can be perfect
I say things will always turn out right
I dream that those I love will never be in pain
I try to do things my own way
I hope ignorance around the world will soon be lost
I am a dreamer whose dreams are more than sleep
Author notes
We had to do this as an opening assignment in my creative writing class. It's basically a fill-in-the-blank poem. You have to use the first two words of each line and then add in your own stuff.

I like that assignment. I wish we would have done it. I enjoyed your perspective however, I really think you used the word dream too much but that's just personally. Overall, good job and good luck! ~Des
