Glad to Be

I've always dreamed of it longingly:
Making a world of fantasy

Gateway to paradise
Leashed my own cowardice
A torrent of overwhelming nostalgia,
Defending a felicitous utopia

Today I would leave this blissful reality,
Onwards, into a life of uncertainty

Because the dream I had chased
Even now, I can't erase

Memorable, unforgettable pasts,
Years of protecting that vulnerable heart
Seeking a nonexistent escape,
Everything you love, and hate
Lost like that indistinct dream,
Feeling hopeful, to stitch together that seam.
