The Dreamer

by S. L. Butterworth - Pisces

Nothin' but a dreamer,
stuck in a place where nothing's right,
or wrong or good at that.
Play the game, 
and find out it's not a game at all,
but a way to grasp on to life and not let go.
So, you think I may be wrong.
Do I care?
All that matters is me, 
and what I think,
So don't tell me otherwise.
The only hand I have to grasp on to is my own.
At least it won't slap me in the face and say I'm dumb.
I kiss my hand,
And it strokes my face,
and fondles my breasts.
And I feel beautiful.
You can't take that away from me.
This land where I live,
my dream,
Keeps me warm,
and loves me the way I am.
There are no draughts,
or wars,
or people who abuse me and move on.
I can forgive myself,
yet no one else,
so get away from me, 
I need to sleep.

Reason for writing:

    just tell me what you think.
