Dreams I had to Put to Rest Mood
Monday, June 8, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

Dreamed of being a Ballerina

Would sacrifice it all to live, breathe

To DANCE

A name for something I do not have

A name for something I may have had

But somehow it went away

Not out of my free will did it get

Stolen

May have never had it all

But if I did who or what took it away

and when?

Left to mourn someone I would have been

If CP was not in my vocabulary

 

Easier to admit my dreams of dance will never come true

Than to work for something that will never happen

Can't miss something I never had

So nowadays I tell myself DANCE wasn't a dream

But a cruel fantasy

 

I put to rest my Ballerina dreams

The life I would have had without CP

To try, to live, to love reality

My life with CP

With no professional DANCE resume.   

 

Cry

    :( i feel you on that one. when i was younger and watched sports i never had that child spirit and ran outside to pretend to be steve young or anything. i always knew i couldnt do it. my dreams were instantly crushed... it makes for quite a lame childhood as childhood is supposed to include a "i can do anything" feeling... i never had that. it sucks because in some aspects i feel like i never had a childhood. I would give anything to have had that...

    You know what it did for me though? it made me one hell of a poet and song writer. in HS iwon second place in a contest out of 300 hsers that entered for a poem entitled Life or Something Like it.
