Not afraid to dream
when shadows fall at night,
when there is only darkness,
not a crack of light.
Not afraid to dream
when no one at all
notices your bloodied heart
splattered all around.
Not afraid to dream
when locked up in a cage,
only bars are visible
and the water is getting low.
Not afraid to dream
when the world says no more,
when roads converge
on one spot, going nowhere.
To dream is to fly to scale
unscaled heights,
To dream is to hold your head high
and never look back,
To dream is to love without knowing
where you’re going,
To dream is to dream a thousand dreams
and to never stop dreaming.
