Shine On
I saw a distant dream,
fade away,
dissipate into thin air,
for nothing,
stood in my way anymore.
I saw a vision,
a vivid hope of a reality,
blow up in flames,
for there were too many,
twists and turns along the way.
Too many objects,
standing in the way,
preventing me from getting a hold of it,
too many obstacles,
separating me from the vision.
Though a vision,
just a perception of how,
i thought i wanted things to turn out,
it felt like holding on,
was living a lie.
To be hopeful,
and delusional,
are two separate things,
while the latter is,
what i’m akin to.
So i let,
my sanity,
wash away the ignorance,
the lie of a dream,
that i was holding on to.
As it did,
it took with it,
all the walls of hope,
i built,
and there i lay.
A mindless wanderer,
with the dream long lost,
with walls up high,
with nothing to protect,
a mind lost in a body.
With far fetched,
hopes and dreams marred,
you’d think i was free,
but i was held captive,
by the lack of a vision.
My mind collapsed,
while my body stood tall,
physically guarding me,
from all it could see,
but helpless nonetheless.
Helpless because,
it had nothing,
no power on,
how aimless and lost,
i felt.
Craving for a new vision,
a new dream,
a new dimension,
a new start,
to begin with.
I walked,
and kept walking,
leaving behind,
every shred of hope,
that i could ever hold on to.
Looking for the dream,
looking for something,
something so much as a light,
a ray,
a ray to guide me.
To guide me,
till i find,
what i’m meant to,
till then,
i’ll look for the light.
In the darkness,
in the light,
with hope,
with determination,
i’ll walk.
Till walking,
brings me,
to the shore,
i am meant,
to find.
