Dreaming Like A Child

As a child I loved sports, popcorn and my dog...  I wrote poems about balloons and protested the war...  I was unafraid of the words of other, they didn't sting and hurt the way they do now. 


As a child I had big dreams, I was going to be an award winning writer, I was going to play on the US National Soccer team and travel the world, now I hardly let others read my words, I don't play soccer and I can't afford a plane ticket to Chicago... 


As a child I dreamed big, there was nothing you could of said that would make me doubt the words I said.  I was confident, I shined, now I often just slide on by, don't really want too attention, but I want to be heard.... 


Now that I find myself at a crossroad of "you can stay here or you dream again".  I chose to dream again, like when I was a child, big and bold and unafraid...  I'm ready to make those dreams a reality, to let my words be read and demand the attention I need and deserve.  I am ready to shine...


Now I may not play on the National team and I'm not going to get a dog, but I can still travel the world and write about balloons and anything else that is held in my heart...


I am ready and I am not afraid....





Never Stop Dreaming, So Much Beauty, Strength, Positivity and Good Things Reside There!!!
