Shadow of a Dream

by beauty from ashes   Sep 19, 2013


There was a little dream
In a little girl's world.
Her innocence wanted it above all else-
Never had a clue what it would do.

The little dream vanished
As the little girl grew up
And saw that in this world,
Dreams don't come true.

The dream became a nightmare;
Became her greatest fear.
She still wanted the fantasy,
But reality scared her.

Damaged and confused,
She knew it would never be.
Frustrated and hurt,
She messed everything up.

It gave her trouble and insecurity-
The greatest worries
Gave her sleepless nights
Instead of sweet daydreams.

She got skinny and withdrawn,
Sad and felt alone.
Her most precious dream
Became her painful memory.
