Analysis of Just A Dream



Me and my dad were holding hands
We were hanging out with all his closest friends
He introduced me as his daughter
As if we were meant for each other
I loved the way he said it with pride
As I was standing by his side
He had me tatted on his arm
He held me with his big black palms
This dream felt so real
And deep in my heart, I could feel
I gress I'm a not-so-happy-preteen
Or this wouldn't be JUST A DREAM
