dream

I, I had a dream..
Even if my clothes were torn,
or in tatters..
Hidden deep in my heart,
as precious as a gem,
an unforgettable dream..
I, teased for looking ugly,
endured humiliation..
I should bear with it,
endure in silence,
for that day's sake..
You, always telling me worriedly,
saying unpractical dreams are toxic..
You said that pre-determined outcomes are,
unchanging reality..
But I, I have my dreams,
I believe in my dreams,
so please stand by me..
Facing reality's cold hard door,
I find the courage to reach out for it..
Surely one day I'll push open the door,
and soar towards the blue sky..
No matter how oppressive this world is,
it'll never hinder my flight..
On the top of the world,
please be with me and share my smile..
