Broken Dream

by hayley williams   Jun 28, 2004


I Have Had This Dream Forever
It Got Stuck deep In My Head
If I Knew I Had No Hope At All
I Would Rather Just Be Dead

My Dreams Are All That I Have
I Became Totally Obsessed
The Only Thing I Know About
That Stops Me Getting Depressed

I Planned Away So Much Time
Hoping That It Would Come True
There Is Nothing Else That I Want
Nor Anything I Would Rather Do

My Dream Took Over My Life
I Wanted So Badly To Achieve
I Thought About It Constantly
I Really Did Learn To Believe

Then Everything Changed So Fast
In A Second It Was Taken Away
I Cried A Thousand Tears In Pain
I Wish I Could Return To Yesterday

To A Time When I Could Dream
When I Still Had A Tiny Hope
Before My Future Was Snatched
Back When I Knew How To Cope

I Will Never Be Able To Understand
How God Could Take It All Away
I Will Never Be Able To Forget
No Matter What Anyone Has To Say

My Dream Was Everything To Me
The Only Reason I Stayed Alive
Now That It Has Gone From Me
I Do Not Have The Will To Survive

    Hi Hayley, sorry for not commenting so often anymore but I'm always on here. This is a lovely poem but until I read YikYak's comment above I didn't realise how bad you were feeling. I know I only talk in the 'conversation' thread to you, as rare as that is, but I hope you know I dont like to hear about you being depressed. Like Yik above, I hope things work out better for you. It really was a lovely poem to read even if it had a sad undertone. Well done H, K
