As I Dream

Alana John

Weights lift from my shoulders. Beginning of the End
As I dream.
Life continues without me. Alana John
As I dream.
I find myself in an utopia of my own calling. Reflecting back at once was.
As I dream. Milestones that have surpassed by.
Gazing ahead at what will be.
Strangely, I do not fear. Anticipation hanging in the air.
I revel. The beginning of the end.
Somehow I do not think of the present.
I reverie. Memories of both laughter and hardship.
Remarkably, nothing troubles me. While promises of hope echo in our ears.
I am carefree. The beginning of the end.

Phenomenons of my imagination appear. Day by day, change occurs.
As I dream. Old friendships ending.
Fantasies evolve into verisimilitude. New relationships beginning
As I dream. But what matters never leaves.
All I know is erased, replaced by something more. The beginning of the end.
As I dream.
As the feeling to stop overwhelms us.
I refrain from intuitively thinking. Remember to look forward.
I am impetuous. The beginning of the end.
I only think of myself.
I am subjective. Letting go of old dreams.
I feel as if joy has taken me. Attaining the new.
I am rapturous. Never forgetting what once was.
While still looking ahead at what is to be.
Life burdens me once again. The beginning of the end.
As I wake.
My fairytale fades away.
As I wake.
My dream is gone, but the memory stays.
As I wake.
