another dark thing- it's a poem. kind of hopeful

~emmapossum

I had a dream once

Where I was falling

But I believed in my wings

And then I was flying

 

It didn’t seem important

Just another dream

But dreams are important

They help us see

 

Our hopes and desires

Our gifts and our love

I strongly believe

Dreams are sent from above

 

But then I went crazy

Totally mad

I wanted to die

Hung up on the bad

 

I didn’t see hope

At the end of the line

No life worth living

At the end of mine

 

I wrote a note

Decided the path

In a couple days

No need to be rash

 

The dream came again

I was falling so fast

I called up my wings

But they didn’t last

 

I fell and I crashed

I was angry I fell

But i was angry at me

And it hurt like hell

 

“Why didn’t my wings work?

Why didn’t I fly?

They worked before

This is why i need to die”

 

But it suddenly hit me

This premonition

The reason I fell

It was a mission

 

“You always believed

But then you lost hope

HOw can you fly

If you’re holding a rope?”

 

I ripped up the note

Got rid of the plan

Because I will fly

I know I can

 

I had a dream once

Where I was falling

I was terrified

I was screaming and calling

 

“I believe in you!

I really do!”

But the voice replies

“Don’t believe in me, believe in you”

 

My wings caught me

But I didn’t quite fly

It doesn’t come easy

But at least I tried
