Dream Life

                                             you know how the night sky holds billions of stars burning and shining whenever it's dark? well, what if I told you it's not as it seems? that they're actually billions and billions of dreams and each, every night when you climb into bed the dreams that you have all float out of your head up past the trees and then up through the clouds up to the night without making a sound they meet with the moon and get ready to shine finding their place in the indigo sky and that's where they watch from that's where they wait until it's their moment their time and their place some stars are tiny and some stars are huge see, if the star's big then the dream must be too the irony though is that when we are small our dreams are the greatest and wildest of all then as we get bigger our dreams start to shrink our stars begin fading as we overthink...

                                                I paint the night sky in dazzling flames like my mind on its high ride I hold my heart in my hands and burn it to ashes As the fears creep out of the  crevices of my skull I plant seeds and flowers bloom within me in this cold winter My body aches as I shed the skin and grow a thick rib cage to protect my  empty heart I wrap myself in a shawl to succumb the flames within me Fears Burns Desires I leave this world another day  I am born again today
