It was uncomfortable to realize that I was not right
I had wondered, explored, and questioned places and those around me
If I had stopped and shared all that I dreamed with everyone around me, not only would they call me crazy, but not believe me, not to mention the facts
I kept it
I shared with my most confidant,
a person who lived it in flesh and blood
I did not care to be misunderstood
and they knew I had no reason to lie
The dreams were not real in real places
I was scared of altitude and new beginnings
and the grass and lakes made sure to remind me
It was absurd to think for once
if it mattered or not
Most importantly, they watched
I was interested in keeping my dreams a secret
And when I say dream, I wish it could mean
picking a career and accomplishing
I mean a dream
sleeping in the midst of millions and dreaming of surreal historic tragedies in real places around me
what does one do?
what would ones reaction be?
