I Am

an assignment for a correspondence class.

I am a dreamer of dreams and the creator of aberrance
I wonder what lies beyond this plane of existence
I hear the cry of the dragon, begging for release
I see the wings of Pegasus beneath me, lifting me above this earth
I want among the stars to dance to live a lifelong romance
I am a dreamer of dreams and the creator of aberrance

I pretend that one day everything will be all right
I feel a soft, simple yearning in my heart--for what, I do not know
I touch the sky when, with my brush, I do paint
I worry for when the light no longer shines from his eyes
I cry because the void grows but never fills
I am a dreamer of dreams and the creator of aberrance

I understand that nothing will be the same, nor will it ever be different
I say, "Let life come to me as it comes, I'll pick a route through, no matter."
I dream of things that supposedly do not exist, though for me, they do
I try to ignore the demands of a society gone awry
I hope that I can lay my differences aside and face what lies ahead
I am a dreamer of dreams and the creator of aberrance
