If I dare to dream
am I setting myself up
for the biggest fall,
would I not be better
to remain hidden
behind this wall
that I have built to
protect myself from
any negative comments
I may receive
if I ever tried to do
something different.
My dreams aren’t
even that outlandish,
it’s not as if I want to
live a life that’s lavish.
I just want to live a life
where my thoughts
can run free
and I can become
the person I always wanted to be.
