Isn't it ironic? We ignore the ones who adore us, adore the ones who ignore us, love the ones who hurt us, and hurt the ones that love us.


To the dreamer,
the one in you,
the one in me.
Hold on to your dream,
Don't let them take it from you.

To the Dreamer,
the one who fought,
and lost it all.
We remember you.
We could never forget.

To the Dreamer,
the one who begged for them to stay.
Keep on dreaming',
She ain't coming back,
and neither am I.

To the Dreamer,
the one who fell,
to keep them going.
I see you.
And so do they.

To the Dreamer,
the one who looks for better days.
They will come,
just hold on.

When they dream,
they see a light,
that may never come.
But they won't give it up.
WE won't give it up.
Not now,
not ever.

To the ones against dreamers,
too bad.

I scribbled this down during a presentation about Langston Hughes. Seems like something he'd have to say.

“Gods of Olympus.” Piper stared at Leo. “What happened to you?”
His hair was greased back. He had welding goggles on his forehead, a lipstick mark on his cheek, tattoos all over his arms, and a T-shirt that read HOT STUFF, BAD BOY, and TEAM LEO.
“Long story,” he said.”

I love reading your poems! They all make me smile! **smiles some more**
