The Dreams Of My Childhood

The Dreams of My Childhood

When I was a kid, I had tons of dreams

I was going to go to space I was going to be an astronaut I learned the constellations and the stations of the moon I watched mesmerized at videos of shuttle launches and I'd jump and cheer at the eventual splashdown I'd watch the stars at night so I guess some things just never change But when I couldn't figure out how to use a telescope I gave up on it all, as if it never existed

I was going to be a rockstar some day

I'd learn every cassette and CD that found it's way to me Even the one's I disliked Singing along to Alan Jackson Elvis Presley and Motley Crue I was going to learn to play guitar And I find myself still saying those words because some things just don't change But I never has the actual ambition or that little bit of starter talent And I never liked to be in the spotlight So when things got a little hard, I just got off

I was going to be author I was going to write a story that was beloved I was going to write of love and emotions and all the things that make up a good person and all those that create the villain but I never finish what I've started and I'm writing cryptic messages in badly written poetry A vomiting of my sub-conscience all over the sidewalk outside your old apartment door I write for this to spill my guts to let strangers judge me Some dreams, they just never change

fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.

Why mother?

why did you tear me apart

when you should have kept me together ?

when you should have held me a bit closer ?

Why father ?

why did you pull me down

and drowned me in my tears

when you should have been my ladder ?

when you should have kept me warm under your wings ?

Why sister ?

why did you spat venom and killed me inside

when you should have been my pillar ?

when you should have hugged me tighter ?

passion.

it's supposed to be the burning flame,

the light that guides you forward,

the torch that lits the way.

but

sometimes,

the flame reduces to nothing but a spark.

and

the light seems so far that all you see is darkness.

and sometimes,

the torch burns a bit too much,

leaving us all in burned pieces.

today,

i shattered all the expectations and dreams.

destroyed all the hopes.

now i am left alone with all these broken pieces.

this time,

i hope i make something more beautiful with these pieces.

something worth protecting.

something worth fighting for.

Thanks for Listening

I write songs but no one listensĀ  I write poems no one readsĀ  A secret show with just one ticketĀ  these words are dancing just for meĀ 

Oh, is this self doubt or sweet wisdom?Ā  to play for no one but the sunĀ  Don’t need the oohs and aahs of othersĀ  at my eternal party of oneĀ 

My imperfect poetry, I write you in invisible ink My pitchy melodies, I sing at the lowest frequencyĀ  but if you can hear me... thanks for listeningĀ 

The thrill of writing a new sentenceĀ  dreaming up syllables that singĀ  Don’t need a chorus line behind meĀ  I found a friend in all these keysĀ 

Oh, is this self doubt or sweet wisdom?Ā  I tell myself don’t overthink I pour out my soul to these four walls give them all of my secrets to keep

My imperfect poetry, I write you in invisible ink My pitchy melodies, I sing at the lowest frequencyĀ  but if you can hear me... thanks for listeningĀ 

Am I moving forward or standing still?Ā  Is it fear of failing or am I chill?Ā  I tell myself it’s not that deepĀ  so I play in secret just for meĀ 

But if you can hear me... Oh, if you can hear me... If you can hear me... thanks for listening Ā
