Dreamer

I wake
With heavy lids, I open my eyes
Hazy and sleepy my thoughts are awakened
My skin is alive
What am I afraid of?
So many things....
My feet touch the floor
My thoughts touch my heart
I am heavy
Am I alone
Not today, he whispers
I try and smile....I close my eyes
but he won't let me dream anymore
The words are sticky on my tongue
but I will not speak them....I will not feel them
What is life without wanting
What are thoughts without dreaming
You must accept me for who I am.....
Love me for what I am
Respect me for who I want to be
I close my eyes
I see what I want to see
I feel what I want to feel
He walks away....he wants me to be free
Free to dream
