House Of Hopes And Dreams

by forever fallen smiles   May 7, 2008


Hope only last so long and I know that now,
Hopes and dream are only meant for when you are sleeping,
So I must had been sleeping my present life away at least,
So I must wake up and see that life can't just be a dream,
So I must move on and live my life,
But that's harder that it seems,
When your heart is only wishing,
Its hard so to see reality,
You can't even believe.
Because I built a house of hope and dreams when in reality it isn't even there,
It housed all the things I wish I could ever have,
But now I must erase it from my mind.
Now I have opened my eyes and now I can see,
For what I wished and dreamed keep them close,
So I must break the seal
And see that in my heart I do not need
What I thought I did,
So now I move on and see the truth
And I must do this on my own.
For I alone hold its key.
So let me hide away,
Let me search my soul and find what I need.
My desires will remain somewhere safe.
These invisible walls must fall,
For they were never there to begin with.
In the darkness,
Its light never guided me.
For only my hope got me by,
Only my will stayed with me
When no one was there in my eyes.
So I fended for myself,
But I got by.
For many tears I have cried,
When I cried on the outside,
The tears I held on the inside
Spilled out never stopping.
Flooding the place that I once keep my heart and soul,
Leaving nothing behind;
This house I build has now fallen
And I stand on my own.
My will is guiding me
And my soul expressing its emotions through the movement of words and lines that define my forms of art.
