Sweet Dreams
It’s hard to leave the
comfort of my bed
What if she gets
lonely too?
What if I told them
the truth and that my shell
is hard to crack through?
Keep trusting,
don’t overthink
Why must it be difficult
to keep my tears at their brink?
They fall down slowly, until
there’s so many they
collide and meet
Days like these used
to be like sweets,
Light like strawberries
and whipped cream
Then I turn caramelized, when
the sugar melts at its peak
When will it stop feeling
like everyone tries to take
a bite out of me?
To start believing in
myself and my capabilities
My shell was soft until
it began hardening,
And it makes it tough
to be confident in myself
and to keep in touch with reality
The simple things and
emotions I watch distantly,
admiring
I want to go back to
that picnic blanket,
Before I was so sad and before
the happiness was taken
They say those who
pass away young were
destined for greatness
and the angels who took
her in gave her wings so
now she flies gracious
Something always
felt so magical,
indulge in the sweetness
Treasure your dreams and
what’s meant to be will reach us
