You Dream

You don't know
where to go
but this path
is getting old
You're feeling
too worn out
You keep
telling yourself
you know
what this life's 
all about
You stay stuck
in your dream
While your heart's
about to rip
at the seam
And you choke
just a little
Your life line's
starting to feel
a little more brittle
each time that you
breathe in
And you dream

    each time that you
    breath in
    And you dream

    Often life is filled with worries.. filled with trouble.. we close our eyes.. we breath and take it all in.. it is dreams that help us make it through.. it is dreams which help us change our view. Beautifully penned.

    Lots of love,
    Sanaa

    Yes. We don't let go of dreams, but each time we re-breathe it, it feels a little more harder to believe in it. Interesting verse! :)

    some dreams are meant not to be realized but still could be a source of inspiration.

      Oh, Myrna, I'm glad to hear that you felt such a way about my poem. Thank you for that :) Isn't it quite something when a poem can make us feel that way? I'm so glad you loved it. Thank you again for your kind words!
