Who do dreams belong to?
The hopeless?
The restless?
The silver spooners?
Or do they belong to the stars?
To a place beyond infinite imagination.
A place where only the most optimistic reside.
I want to grab hold of these dreams.
Keep them close in my clutch.
Hold on so tight they can not be swiped by the hopeless.
The restless.
The silver spooners.
So I can be among the optimists and the stars.
So I can escape the reality I’m subjected to.
So that maybe I can be where the most precious dreams belong.
—Sincerely , a dreamer
