Dreams Poem by Jesse Bauer

Alone in my home, alone in my dreams.
Alone in my thoughts, my life, and my screams.
Alone.

No one can hear me. No one can see me.
No one will answer my pitiful plea.
No one.

Heavy as a stone, or light as the air.
I can be whatever I dare.
It’s my dream, it’s my wish,
Only I care.
I’m alone, it’s my dream.
I will not share.

Dreams are tangible, dreams are a fate.
Dreams are the only thing I don’t hate.
Dreams.

Take me away, take me with you.
Take me to find a world that is new.
Take me.

A house in the hills, or a lake in Vermont.
I can go wherever I want.
It’s my place, it’s my home.
The real, I daunt.
I’m alone, it’s my thought.
Your world is gaunt.

Save me from people, save me from death.
Save me before I must draw my last breath.
Save me, dreams.
