DESPERATE WISHES

DESPERATE WISHES

Hopes and dreams have taken wings

I watched them fly away

Now I live moment to moment

And simply day to day

I've settled for the reachable

The attainable goal

The doable, the possible

To have some kind of control

Dreams are desperate wishes

That you can't possibly fulfill

You can't make them happen

By the power of your will

Dreams are misguided missiles

Broken arrows to the heart

All the waiting, hoping, longing

Will only crush your dreams apart

Dreams are wishful thinking

You can't make them come true

They're broken promises, you can't keep

No matter what you do

Don't tie your dreams to a hope and a prayer

Wishing that someday..

Or make a wish upon a star

It will lead your heart astray

Hopes and dreams took wings

I watched them fly away

Now I live moment to moment

And simply day to day

Whispering Dream

Such a heartfelt poem, so much lost hope, I hope you find the power to dream for only in our dreams we can be truly free.

Thank you Whispering Dream. I felt the pain of desiring, hoping, dreaming, longing and desperately wishing-  only  to see  them crushed. I didn't want to feel  that pain, so I stopped trying to have anything that was just out of reach.

I think we all felt that at some point in our lives. Just don't give up hope.
