I live my life

And I dream

And I hope

And I whisper my secrets to the sky

Because nobody is there to listen

And when I'm alone I wait

And I hope to God

That someday I will not be

So meaningless,

So worthless,

With no reason to keep trying

As hard as I do

I can simply

Just float along

But I do hope

I do wish

I do dream

That someday I can take my words

And toss them into the sky

And they will land

On somebody who cares

And

I wish

I dream

That I will be the author I've always wanted to be--

Not just in little anthologies

Small books from

The second grade

I want to be the one who wrote a novel

I want to be the one who inspired

Who led

Who dreamed a dream

And made that dream come true

I want to be someobody

I hope

I wish

I dream

That someday I will not just be anybody

I will be

Simply

Me.
