i think my dreams
are tired of me
telling them
to shut up.
dreams are not meant
to be told to shush
and to wait quietly
until the time is right.
the only time
that is right
for dreams
is now.
the past & future
are where dreams die.
here, right now,
is the time
for for dreams to live.
despite my fear,
despite my utter
lack of belief
in myself,
right here & right now
is possible –
unless, until
i quit forever.
my dreams are waiting,
but i think my dreams
are tired of waiting.
i think my dreams
are tired of me.
