I Dream...But In Reality
Location
I have this desire, this dream,
And it's completely overwhelming me.
The passion I feel,
I know this could all be real,
But my progress is difficult to make.
In reality,
I am a mom,
Tending to my baby with all her demand,
Making the food on the table,
And keeping my husband,
As happy as I am able.
But in my mind...
My boss calls me in,
He says: "I have a job just for you,
So listen carefuy to what you must do.
We need a new movie!
New characters!
Different than the ones we've made before!
Different than Toy Story and Walle!
Different than Cars and Cars 2!
Now go! Go now!
Go!
And create...
Something new...!"
With a smile on my face,
I leave his office,
And go to my quiet place.
I turn on my computer,
Stare at the blank space,
Then close my eyes,
And decide what to animate.
But when I open my eyes,
I am home,
With this eerie sense of being alone.
I have dinner to plan,
Cleaning—that I haven't even began,
And a dirty diaper to change.
I sigh with defeat,
And I wonder,
If my family truly knows,
Of the job that I dream,
To have.
