| Dreamscapes |
I am not asleep.
But rather, stuck in a dream.
A dream I don't want to leave.
A dream in which I can bend reality to my will.
I shouldn't have to be asleep to dream.
Dreams should not be limited to travel only when the dreamer has no say in the matter.
Why shouldn't I be able to dream right where I stand?
Right now,
In reality,
I am sitting at my computer writing this poem to you.
But in my dream,
I am pushing the buttons that will finally bring peace to the world.
Right now,
In reality,
I am sitting in a chair,
Staring at a a wall,
Covered by wallpaper.
But in my dream,
I am sitting in a chair,
Watching as the world tears down the walls that keep us from seeing one another as we truly are.
Right now,
In reality,
I am hearing the sound of keys being struck on a key board.
But in my dream,
I am hearing the sound keys being struck on a piano, in a song that the whole world hears.
Right now,
I am in a reality that I cannot change.
But in my dream,
I have the power to make the world see that we are all the same.
In my dream,
I don't see a color, a size, or a race and what they don't do.
But rather a person and what they could do.
To make my reality better.
So that when I leave my dream,
I can come to a world that I am not ashamed of.
I can come to a world where I feel safe.
I can come to a world where I know that people are accepting.
But for now,
I'll stay in my dream,
Where I know that people aren't as bad as reality makes them out to be. |
