Sadly, I dream.
I dream of a life
That’s perfect.
But as I see it,
It’s far from it.
This oyster is my world.
And not the other way round.
Nothing to look forward to.
Ordinary is the name.
Adjusting to people of all sorts,
yet, none of my sort.
A struggle to earn,
a struggle to belong,
to this world.
I do not.
Where’s the life of freedom?
Of amazement and discovery?
Where’s the life of love?
Of wines and moonlit beaches?
Where’s the life of passion?
Of excitement and ecstasy?
Am I destined for this?
Then why do I dream?
Why do I believe
there’s still a twist in the tale,
And hope, this dream will come true?
Life, give me a chance…
Or at least stop me from dreaming.

This poem is just 2 good. Esp the lines
"Nothing to look forward to. Ordinary is the name."
and also
"Am I destined for this?
Then why do I dream?
Why do I believe
there’s still a twist in the tale,
And hope, this dream will come true?"
Good going! Keep it up!
We really are chained down now by necessity and yet our souls aspire be a free spirit.
But dream is hope and hope propels life, we'd perhaps stop 'living' once the hope dies and only 'exist' a soulless being!
Our life is really bound by such contradictions, the depths of which we can never reach!
@ samuru- Don't want to. But there's no point keeping them if there's no hope of getting them.
Thnx for dropping by.
@ maya- Same to you.
@ Keshi- Guess so..but only if life lets u love that is.
Don't have a clue abt the no. but it definitely is a lot.
Thnx 4 the nice words..

@priyankari-Thanks..
Yes we are chained by necessity and thus dreams stay what they are...just dreams and keep hurting.
