Let Me Dream

Published by Family Friend Poems January 2009 with permission of the Author.

I've neglected and regretted
All this pain.
And today was filled with
So much shame.
I'm exhausted now,
From all my thoughts.
And I don't know how
To make things stop!
But I have a trick,
Up my sleeve.
To make things pause,
For 8 hours at least.
It comes late, after the sun
Has vanished.
To the point were stars,
Sparkle like magic.
It's called a dream.
My own little world,
A place where people don't even exist.
But the things I love are at my fingertips.
It lets me run, for only a little while.
Giving my life time to breathe.
And handing me something
I know I can keep.
Just let me dream.
