A Dream
It doesn't let me sleep,
it forbids peace for my mind,
it takes away the quite,
because it is a rare find.

I have had it within me
from my previous lifetimes,
the more I shoved it deeper,
the brighter I made it shine.

It is a dream that I have had,
ever since I learnt how to breathe,
it was born a silly wish,
still, I kept it hidden inside a sheath.

I never realised when it transformed,
into a desire, a raging storm,
it grew wings of it's own
and made me its bonded pawn.

I finally gave in to its power,
and started striving for its fulfillment,
for if not for the dream I have had,
I will be empty within, I will be nothing.
