It hurts to be a dreamer.

Originally written May 3, 2007

Sometimes it hurts to be a dreamer.
Always seeing, imagining, dreaming...
     -for things that just may never be.

Hoping, aching, pleading...
     -for reveries to take tangible form.

As time goes on it takes its toll...

Eventually fantasy reverts to nightmare and I begin to dread,
     -the happiness that surrounds me while I sleep.
     -being torn from it all when I wake.

Life grows so hard to endure,
when you're just so unsure.

Am I just setting myself up to fall?
Wishing for things that aren't real and standing on a ledge that's much too tall...
     ...for me?
