Which One?
Dreams, Dreams, Full of Dreams
I was always told from a young age
To go after your dreams
But I get conflicted
Which dream do I go after
The one where I pick up a pencil
Or even a paint brush
And color a blank sheet of paper
With swirls and lines
Full of shades and colors
Where instead of paint by number
It is paint by day
By the end of it
I have enough art to decorate an entire house
Or do I go after the dream where I pick up a microphone
And sing until I lose my voice
Hitting the high notes
That can fill a cathedral
Harmonizing to my hearts content
Praying that I can give the person farthest from the room
The same chills that I get
Whenever I see someone sing with every ounce of passion that exists in their soul
Or do I chance the dream where I write and write
Every thought that runs through my mind
Like a verbal kaleidoscope
Spinning with every synonym for every color under the rainbow
Where I write about what lifts me up
What makes me numb
Or even the moments in between
What about the dreams where I set foot
In a whole new world
Where it feels as if I have finally touched the surface and rose up out of the shore
It is like I know exactly how the little mermaid feels
Where she asks
When is it my turn
Maybe she was further
Because even to dance where the people are
I'm just figuring out what my dreams are

I write to clear my mind. To get out of the fog of daily confusion. An artist by heart. To live, laugh, and grow.
