Um. o_o I wrote this for an English as-signment. Felt like posting it here. =3 Sorry about the murdered font; MS Word just likes to be an as-sas-sin every now and then.
The Fragments of your Dream
Tears are fragments of your dreams.
Shut your eyes,
Shut them tight.
Open your eyes,
Open them to all;
And feel free to cry.
Streaking paths down flushed cheeks,
Tears are leaking from your dreams.
Hardships press down, unafraid,
On this dark and daunting evening.
Despair wraps its fingers around you,
Smothering you,
Clinging to you…
Suffocating.
Until the barrier has fallen,
And the tears that are the
Fragments of your dreams,
Finally fall.
Tears.
When they fall they’re gone;
And your hopes once lit with
An undiminished spark.
Simmer out for that darkened gloom,
Cloaked around your shoulders,
Like an inescapable burden.
Hands rise up and clasp together,
Tears streaming down,
All your dreams hitting the ground.
Oppressive being- how it grabs you,
Shakes and thunders;
Until the tears of your dreams have fallen.
Until all you held close no longer seems of dire importance.
Until what you reached out for has been dissolved in shadows.
Until you figure out there’s some hope.
And tears are fragments of your dreams,
That fall, that are lost-
Just to be replaced by stronger ones.
Stronger ones that will defy the odds,
More willful ones that will make it through,
Better ones that you have more dedication to.
Because tears are fragments of your dreams.
