Picture perfect

I close my eyes

Count to three

I see my life

The way I dream

The hope I can’t explain 

The little kernel of belief

The one spot fear hasn’t taken over

I open my eyes and reality strikes

In this pitch black

I am everything I always wanted

You are everything I ever wanted

The dreams never come true

Not the way I want them to

But

This faith building slowly in me

Causes me to think

That one day reality will lose this dance

That my life will be better than

I could ever imagine
