Dream

let me dream
please, I want
to be alone

with my thoughts, those
fascinating
works of art that revolve

inside my mind and seldom
escape the bounds they so
desperately
try to break, the ones
that were created through

fear
fear of pain and rejection,
it’s to protect me, I don’t want
to show my
innermost
breakthroughs and have them

trampled with ignorant feet,
you understand, but
I yearn
so

for the warm embrace of
acceptance, for the
eccentric works that
exist because of

my love for knowledge
to live and
breathe through others,

to slither through their perceptions and
alter views, to
change the world, but
alas, I am too scared, and

the dreams inside
my head shall never
crawl out as
words, no matter how
much they
fight
