Some people like to dream a forever dream, many like to dream in order to set a start for a journey to reach what they want (a goal). I don't know what it is called when I want something but cannot do anything but restrain myself. What I want is real in the sense that I know what I want; I know what my heart desires; I even know that inside me is struggling to...be free to follow whatever it takes to get what I want.
Yet, with all the concession I can't set out for there's no path ahead for me. I'm trapped within my desire . I'm imprisoned by my gender and social status. And so I'm not convinced that what I want is just a dream. Instead, it's the truth that there are things I can't have and will never have because I'm a woman.
I'll think of you in my sleep tonight and remember it's not a dream...

ReplyDeleteTrue in a way but do you think there are times when we don't really know if something is a dream or reality or don't want to believe/accept that reality is actually a dream in disguise and vise versa?

yeahh of course there are times that one refuses to distinguish between reality and dream---especially the overwhelming dreamer ones---and one of them is me --sometimes.^_^But what is wrong with that? Honestly,,,without a dream, I am nothing....
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you are one of us too.....
