shannon pollard - Dreams

Sometimes I can't sleep at night
Because of my dreams
Makes me come up with these crazy schmes
Anger and regrets creep Into my dreams
Turns Into nightmares when I run away from my tears.
Everyone just whispers and stares
Can they smell my fear?
It hits me like a glare In my eyes
Can they see my demise?
Can they see I despise myself and I try to disguise myself?
Hiding behind additude and supressed pain puts a strain on me
Drains away my youthtul energy.
But not all dreams are bad
Sometimes relax and look at the sky
Im a bird soaring away as I look down at my problems
My eyes begins to illuminate when speculating the world
Know they're Is something Is far beyond self and human desires
More than the stars In the sky
wondering how far can I go
There Is no bounderies
just have to keep belly emppty and and head full of dreams
I am who I want to be
I define myself.
