Dream Sequence

I have this dream

where all the colors are blended

into this perfect picture.

I'm chasing away the dull grey

with rosy cheeks and a glowing smile.

I'm free and I'm happy

and I don't want to be anywhere else.

I'm jumping into a river to let it carry me away-

but it pulls me under and fills the holes in my heart

and I die instead.

Life's funny like that-

I guess dreams are too?

I contemplated what it meant:

will the image of myself on the photograph

of the world completely fade away?

Will I be forgotten by all? Including myself?

Is my mind subconsciously acting on a notion

that this is what I really want in the end?

But then I realized that I never want to die-

I want to live forever;

Oh how I wish mortality was the myth!

I don't want to leave behind these little moments

of car rides and breathing

and kisses in the night.

I don't want to forget these warm embraces

that always get me through the day;

these smiles that always welcome me

no matter how messy my hair is

or how little makeup I have on.

I can make a difference in this world

by loving everything with undying devotion.

I can claim the stars at 11:11 each night

and wish for acceptance among mankind.

I can dream of a better world

and not be disappointed when I walk out my door.

I can survive each day and face tomorrow

with a smile and a heart

and whether I'm noticed or not-

well, at least it's a start.
