Dreams and Hopes

We all dream and we all hope
What do you dream?
What do you hope?
Or have they all been crushed?
A lot of my dreams and hopes have been crushed
I still dream though
I still hope
Not as much as I used to
I dream of being a way from here
I hope I can leave soon
For now that will be all I want
But can I reach it for all have been crushed many times
The only thing we have in this world is our dreams and hopes
That is what makes us
That is all that keeps us going
Where would we be if we could not?
Some live on their dreams and hopes
Because that is all some have
They hope for a better life
They dream it all the time
Sometimes when our dreams and hopes die
We die
I think that is why suicide is big amongst teens
They lose what they dream and hope
I have found that suicide is the easy way out
Why take the easy way
We stop fighting and give up
We stop believing that it can get better
I have tried it and for some reason I am still here
I have tries cutting and pills
I tried drowning my self
I have tried everything but a gun
I think the reason that I am still here is not only because of my twin
She gives me hope and helps me dream
But I have my own dreams
I have my own hopes
I feel like giving up my dreams and hopes
But the thought of my goddaughter not knowing me
Not having my nieces and nephews not having me
Gives me hope, gives me something to dream
