Dreams
By: Erin
I loved to
dream about
Dancing
Prancing
Laughing
Singing
In my dreams
I was safe
No one could
hurt me
No one could
touch me
No one could
catch me
In my dreams
magic was real
Becoming
invisible
Becoming
invincible
Becoming
anything I wanted to be
In my dreams
I was free from pain
Free from
fear of food
Free from
feelings of inadequacy
Free from
worry and shame
Dreams were
the only place I wanted to be
And still I
sometimes long for the dream girl to be me
But I’m working
now to feel safe in reality
And be free
from some of the pain in actuality
I still
enter my dream world when I cannot handle my pain
But moments
like that are starting to wane
I will
always have a special place in my dreams
For the
little girl inside my heart who is tired of extremes
Some call it
hiding or running away from what is true
But really
if you look close, you’ll notice it’s simply a resting place until I feel less
blue
