Daydreamer

I don't dream anymore
i don't feel
waking up everyday is a let down
I'm hungry
but there is nothing to eat
I'm thirsty but it hasn't rained in months
i pray and pray
all the time
they say "if you ask you will receive"
I've been asking since my mom got sick
and all I've received is a
dead mother, a dying grandma,and loneliness
i wish i could dream
in my dreams i would make life the way it was supposed to be
"HAPPY"
so now i am only a daydreamer just like many others
just daydreaming about if AIDS hadn't killed our families
how happy we would have been
