A Dream
But Only In Reality 



I can't help but cry because that's what I've done all along. 
I feel as if my life's purpose was to wallow in misery and gradually increase in doing wrong. 
Yet I pray to a God who only watches me. 
Yet I wipe the tears of my face and smile internally. 
What do you call a soul when the one thing they crave can never be found? 
I would say, a lonely soul sinking into the ground. 
So my feet tread against what I think is a floor. 
They carry me motionless into destruction's door. 
But other's have the audacity to even try to come step on me. 
So my path is crossed once again with insecurity. 
I smile through a thousand tears to hide from prying fingers. 
Yet hurt and resentment follow me and linger. 
Yet I pull myself together to achieve my dream. 
The youngest female poet with expressions as beautiful as Eden's spring. 
I will not go down gently into the roaring sea. 
I will not feed my life the world's false accuracy 
I will not go down willingly into the roaring sea. 
Fore I am the divine child which splits meanings into degrees.
