Let us dream
Let us dream
For it's all we have left,
when empty words shatter
except those that disconsolate
And the masks we wear
they fall in mid-scene
Strangers now know me
They've seen all there was to see
Naked feelings, the shivering breeze
Their laugh's breath cutting my skin.
Glances and stares,
I fear what they might see.
There we have broken,
you may think
There
under the light of shame, of grief
But the tears that fall
can leave no scar
And the weak knees I have
can still take me so far
For under this white dress stained with misery
- and ripped apart
I still have one thing no one else can bogart
I still have one thing
nobody else can have but me
I am still a dreamer and I still have a dream.

This poem is about how nothing in the world can take away your dignity if you still hold on to your dream and remind yourself why you want it, despite how many times you fall or how many times they bring you down. Hopefully it will speak for itself :)
