10 years;

What a rise,

What a fall,

So it flies,

So it falls—


10 years;

Tears and sweat,

Joy and pain,

It can heal,

It can pain—


10 years;

Brand new day,

Same old night,

Force a smile,

Cry at night—


10 years;

Fumes of smoke,

Flame goes out,

Open doors,

Get locked out—


10 years;

Oh the scars,

Oh the hopes,

No new cuts,

No new hopes—


10 years;

Choose to stay,

Choose to run,

Can't turn back,

Want to run—


10 years;

Stars are born,

Then they die,

Life, power,

Still they die—


10 years;

Slipping by,

Out of reach,

Out of grasp,

Cannot reach—


10 years;

Memories,

Now follies,

Like wishes,

Such follies—


Of 10 years,

Through 10 years,

At 10 years,

So 10 years fall.

I did start this book with the intention of writing, well, happier poems, ones with a positive ending. But, my poems reflect how I feel, my life at the time I'm writing, and I guess this is where I am right now :/ 

And, that's the nice thing about the title I chose, "If You Can Dream". It's very wide ranging. 

This poem was probably pretty confusing to a lot of you, because it's about something very specific in my life. However, I hope you still found it to an extent relatable :)

Love you all <3
