Where I dream

Where I dream.

When I am all alone at night and it is

finally time for me to fall asleep, I close

my weary bloodshot eyes to escape 

this world that we all now live filled of 

nothing more then violence, killing, 

prejudice, and hate just so I can

wake up in my little world where I

wish to go in my dreams. It is a

place where you and I will always

and forever be in love staring

deeply into each other's eyes night

after night holding hands walking 

on the beautiful white sands of an 

ocean beach never knowing of all 

our life's lies and many mistakes. 

t is a place to stay where our children 

can be children and grow up being

whoever and whatever they want to 

be never knowing any words of

bullying or hate where they can

play every day without the fear of

the darkness that plagues our

world in which we all have made. 

It is a feeling of true freedom of 

our hearts, mind, and souls like

living in the lines of the many pages

of the ink that now flows where 

justice is real and the american 

way is not a lie no matter what 

the color of our skins where 

actions that we make are ours 

to take and not give away blame 

where we are free to love who 

we want be it woman or man 

where the waters are clear and 

he skies are all blue where the 

snow falls white and love is 

shown wherever you go a place 

where everything is as it would 

all seem. Somewhere I try to 

never forget about where I know 

we all can live to love and love 

to live just and all you need to do 

is close your eyes and come 

stay with me in my dream one 

that I never want to leave or even

wake up again.
