[bodytext] => I am lving in a world, no, a culture, of conformity,
there is a plan already mapped out for me.
I grow old in a routine that is my predecided fate,
and I can honestly say it is one I am beginning to hate.
There are no dreams to be had these days,
dreaming isn't condoned, its only a childhood phase.
I am fighting so hard to break out of the mold,
but soon it'll be too late, my story will have already been told.
So please let me be ALIVE, God knows I try,
because to be a part of this society my dreams, my hopes, and my soul
must die!

The only way to stay alive is to DREAM. Once we give up our dreams, then we just live inside an external shell. I know that you are a vibrant person and feel that you are the type of person that won't die without a fight. So pick up the pieces of a bad situation and then strive to relearn those dreams that you were about to toss away. I know you can do it!

dreaming is what keeps us sane and they can come true and thats when u don't let others smash them into pieces.

I was voted class daydreamer in high school and to this day is still a dreamer.

blame the media.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
