\n

What right have I to mourn and pout
\nWhen others face despair refined?
\nI insist on yelling, and to the world shout
\nWhile many face fear and pain combined.<\/p> \n\n

A dream defaced, who really cares?
\nDid it really mean a thing?
\nA vision of happiness beyond repair
\nUpon a time it was everything.<\/p> \n\n

So many find so much less than I
\nCan I allow myself to wallow?
\nTo my dearest dream I say goodbye
\nIt\u2019s a bitter pill to swallow.<\/p>\n\n

But gulp I do and down it goes
\nBut soon I feel a fever
\nA deeper dread in me arose
\nHow I wish I was a believer.<\/p>\n\n

I could fill my life with deeds fulfilling
\nBe happy in my days
\nBut a part of me remains unwilling
\nTo accept the sunshine\u2019s rays.<\/p>\n\n

Replace the dream, change my goal
\nYes, I could be happy
\nBut doubts within take control
\nThat lead to a path unhappy.<\/p>\n\n

Aren\u2019t I just staying busy
\nFilling time, waiting till the end
\nRemaining tizzily frantically dizzy
\nUntil there\u2019s no time left to spend?<\/p>\n\n

I wish I could read some magic book
\nThere has to be some meaning.
\nBut no matter where I look
\nI find myself still screaming.<\/p> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
