Dreams
Right in front of me, just within reach, or at least that's what it seems.
Do I reach out? They are in front of me, right?
I reach out, out to my dreams and wishes, that seem to be within reach.
My fingers brush my dreams, they are just within reach.
But I am pulled short by defeat, fear, and doubt.
Dreams
They were just within reach.
Now I am held down by my own doubt, my own defeat, my own fears.
How am I to reach them now?
Only discomfort is within reach now.
Help! Someone help. Someone come within reach.
Dreams
Nowhere to be found. I am surrounded by doubt, defeat, discomfort.
Then I feel a hand pulling me out of the fear, someone within reach.
Pulled out of the dark and into the light.
My dreams are in front of me once again.
Do I reach out? They are in front of me, right?
Dreams
I reach out and grab my dreams.
This time they stay within reach.
I could not do it on my own; I was too frightened, too scarred.
But someone gave me hand. Someone helped me up.
Someone within reach.
