Emily Pham's Self-Reflecting Poems May 2014 | Page 7

I sleep in the clouds, dream in the sky,

I'll keep dreaming as life passes me by,

I think my dreams keep me sane,

I dream of happiness, a life without pain,

some people say I'm stuck in this place,

and I'll never go anywhere,

but in my dreams I've already been there,

I know some day I'll have to wake up,

but I feel the real world is more like a nightmare,

I'm safe in my closed eye wonderland,

this poem goes to all the dreamers that understand,

no matter what they say...

keep your dreams but don't dream your life away.

~Ashley L. May

There's this saying that if someone appears in your dreams, then that means that that person was thinking about you before they fell asleep. Though it is a childish fantasy that I have, I really do believe in this. That being said, dreams hold valuable meaning to me, probably more than most people, and this poem reminded me of this.
