They tell us to follow our dreams
Dreams made of stardust and seashells
Dreams made of cream and sugar
Dreams made of laughter and bubbles
Dreams made of plans and future
Dreams made of the moon and the stars
Dreams made of everything we want
What do we do with the others?
Dreams made of spikes and thorns
Dreams made of rot and mould
Dreams made of screams and cries
Dreams made of the past and trauma
Dreams made of fire and flames
Dreams made of everything we fear
What dreams do we follow?
Do I follow my dream of kittens?
Do I follow my dreams of rainbows?
Or do I follow my dreams of old?
Dreams of the winter, the frozen, the cold?
What about the dreams of day?
Dreams of meeting our ‘one true love’
Dreams of speaking up for ourselves
Dreams of a better life for us
Dreams of a sparkling beach
Dreams of speaking our mind
Dreams of winning so much money
They tell us to follow our dreams
But what dreams do we follow?
