What’s your dream?

People always  ask me
what’s my dream?
I always reply
I don’t know
because I’m afraid you see
I’m so afraid they’ll mock what is mine
So I can keep the little hope of my dream alive

i actually don’t think I’ve ever said it out loud
the thing in my life that would make me most proud
i try to speak the words
but nothing comes out
im still scared you see

so Aimée what do you want to do?
they still ask
but now I don’t speak
the words are bursting to come out
and one day you’ll see
ill say the words that are holding me back
i dream to be a writer you see
