"flyings" poems
We're dreamers because we seek things we've never seen Choose to push ourselves in directions of seemingly unattainable things Always flyings hours away for things we could get right down the road Because only with the changing scenary do we ever feel at home As children our goals were never to be teachers or mommies Instead we dreamt of dancing on broadway or touching the surface of the moon With our heads in the clouds numbers of our peers Continued to try to pull us down, and crash us into the dirt below their feet But we stayed aloft in the air above their heads Pushing our eyes into books, and our minds into places we'd never been Dreaming of the days when we can free ourselves from being stuck In the small towns we are born in, where the roads all seem to lead to the same places If you're wondering who the dreamers around you are Since we're approaching our final destination in this town, our senior year You can find us finally at rest, at peace, stress levels seemingly at ease With the knowledge that after this year we will finally be out of here Us dreamers, we're the ones that have pushed ourselves beyond Beyond what we thought we could do so we can get into our schools outside of this state, away from the fields that seem to surround us and the small resteraunts we've been to so many times that the waiters and waitress' know our names and what we like to eat Whether we're flying away to the east coast for New York, the west coast For LA, north, south or even to just a bordering state, we're the ones leaving Going to places where no one knows our names because thats where we belong In places where our identities are brand new, and we can start blank Because in our minds as dreamers this town has never been enough for us Some of us have stuck together like glue, but many of you never understood So we were the backside of your jokes and the endurers of your pranks Simply because we chose to push ourselves and not join in your childish games We're dreamers because we see life outside of this town Limits to where we will go and what we will be don't exist and never have Joining family businesses or waiting tables will never be our career goals Instead we will be the ones who visit town twice a year to see our families then leave Jet off to our lives as broadway singers, astronauts, scientists and lawyers Even as little kids we could set ourselves apart- when our teachers told us how these jobs were not realistic we told them it didn't matter Because those were are dreams, and even as little kids we knew we were dreamers And we would make our dreams could become a reality.

We're Dreamers
We're dreamers because we seek things we've never seen Choose to push ourselves in directions of seemingly unattainable things Always flyings hours away for things we could get right down the road Because only with the changing scenary do we ever feel at home As children our goals were never to be teachers or mommies Instead we dreamt of dancing on broadway or touching the surface of the moon With our heads in the clouds numbers of our peers Continued to try to pull us down, and crash us into the dirt below their feet But we stayed aloft in the air above their heads Pushing our eyes into books, and our minds into places we'd never been Dreaming of the days when we can free ourselves from being stuck In the small towns we are born in, where the roads all seem to lead to the same places If you're wondering who the dreamers around you are Since we're approaching our final destination in this town, our senior year You can find us finally at rest, at peace, stress levels seemingly at ease With the knowledge that after this year we will finally be out of here Us dreamers, we're the ones that have pushed ourselves beyond Beyond what we thought we could do so we can get into our schools outside of this state, away from the fields that seem to surround us and the small resteraunts we've been to so many times that the waiters and waitress' know our names and what we like to eat Whether we're flying away to the east coast for New York, the west coast For LA, north, south or even to just a bordering state, we're the ones leaving Going to places where no one knows our names because thats where we belong In places where our identities are brand new, and we can start blank Because in our minds as dreamers this town has never been enough for us Some of us have stuck together like glue, but many of you never understood So we were the backside of your jokes and the endurers of your pranks Simply because we chose to push ourselves and not join in your childish games We're dreamers because we see life outside of this town Limits to where we will go and what we will be don't exist and never have Joining family businesses or waiting tables will never be our career goals Instead we will be the ones who visit town twice a year to see our families then leave Jet off to our lives as broadway singers, astronauts, scientists and lawyers Even as little kids we could set ourselves apart- when our teachers told us how these jobs were not realistic we told them it didn't matter Because those were are dreams, and even as little kids we knew we were dreamers And we would make our dreams could become a reality.
