Blind Dreams
They say she can do it
In all honesty
She doesn’t believe them.
They say, “She’s the perfect fit!”
What about others
Wanting to hold their hand?
Why won’t she answer the phone?
Someday, set on a throne
Showered with advice
She doesn’t know
But it’s so close, can she put on a show?
Sometimes, she dares to dream
But even that’s a disaster
Hope; hyped-up holes of helplessness
That makes her want to scream
Is this real, are we spinning even faster?
Suddenly, she’s floating
How long until she crashes?
When will they look up
And notice?
I guess she’ll have to wait and see.
But what if she’s tired of remaining?
Won’t take the bait
Should she make a move
Or should she wait?
I guess her face
Just wanted to dress in crimson for the occasion
She’s gotten stares; a linear equation.
Nope, she isn’t ready;
Her head can’t be steady.
Slamming the door behind her
Panting
They walk up to her
With a smirk she’d like to erase off their face
She doesn’t want to have another heart attack
From demons in her head chanting
Suddenly, she’s falling
Pounding thoughts, so red hot
Why can’t they be explained?
Blind dreams keep on tripping us every time
Maybe, one day, they’ll come true.
A few months ago, I started writing for fun at home, and it turned into this. :)
