My Reality

“My Reality” I used to dream about who I was meant to be But it was all just a dream, not my reality With no one to turn to, cause they couldn’t relate I gave up on my dream and claimed it as fate But the sadness grew deeper, burrowed itself into my soul Playing tricks with my emotions, it started taking its toll I tried to act happy but they knew I was lying Cause when they looked in my eyes, they could see I was crying Screaming and shouting, “Please let me out!” For who I became, I knew nothing about Ashamed and embarrassed, that was my me It was never the person I dreamt I would be The light in the tunnel grew seemingly dark I wanted to move forward, but was stuck in park The best years of my life were thrown to the side Cause instead of choosing to fight, I decided to hide But there came a point, it went on for to long No more self pity, I had to get strong Then came a voice inside of my head “Breakthrough and live, cause inside your dead” It was at that point I knew what I had to do To free myself from hurting, and unto my self be true Just the other day I was dreaming of who I was meant to be But now that dream has gone away, and it’s my reality
