In my dream



In my dream I never feel I’m  drowning
There’s lots of water
In my life I swim too but there’s too much chlorine
It overpowers my water
There’s no evil in my dreams too
It’s a shame in my life there is so much
People see the evil not the good
But I have hope
In my dream I never feel I’m falling
There’s so many heights and obstacles but I still never fall
In my life there’s obstacles too but there’s more struggle staying strong
Staying high
Staying full
Not low
In my dream I never feel like I’m insecure
There’s so many differences
But we work through them because everyone is different and beautiful
Not in my life though
Everyone is different too
But that’s a bad thing in real life
I am an epitome of sadness and uniqueness
And that upsets people
I wish life was like my dreams
But it can’t
Because I drown, fall, fail and I’m different but it’s not like that in my dreams
