Dreaming Wide Awake

To be honest

I always get a little stir-crazy when I can't let my feelings out

So I turned to art

And fell into a love so deep

It could drill a hole through the Earth

And reach far past the other side.

 

Others tell me

I have always been a wonderful listener

And give out the best of advice

And with the way I was raised

I dream of helping people forever

No matter how much it may hurt me.

 

Music has always

Been there for me with the way the tapping of the beat

Matches the beating of my heart

In a connection like no other

And brings beautiful smiles

To the faces of those around me.

 

So all in all,

I want to be an illustrator, a public speaker, and musician

But when it all comes down to it,

It truly doesn't matter what I chose

Because my one true dream

Is to inspire others to reach for theirs.
