Please Just Let Me Dream...

A little girl with a white ribbon and a tiny nose1

her daddy died, you think she knows?2

The twelve year old girl with the glistening eyes,3

everyday she goes home to a horrid surprise.4

The pale faced woman who has chills up her spine5

ready to face the verdict if she'll stay alive.6

The "Head in the books" girls is shy7

but all she reads is about suicide.8

Reading on and on but not between the lines.9

Can't predict if the bridge outside is where she'll die.10

The guy with the pink socks who gets glances now and then11

His on-line games are his only friend.12

He hides more than you can see, a bad history13

of the case "I'm here but you can't see me"14

The older lady who gives you the "I'm wiser" look15

has her reasons because she can read you like a book16

A teacher that cares, when you can't help but frown17

the only one that can truly turn your life around.18

A sixteen year old pregnant girl19

her life is upside down and in a whirl.20

Too confused to see the truth.21

Too scared to see the abuse.22

The baby in preschool whose as wild as can be23

they don't know yet but he's got ADD.24

A girl in grade six who wants to be liked25

can't help but want a boyfriend, surpassing the point of life.26

The minority or outcast being looked upon once again.27

Reaching for a hand, yearning for a friend.28

What is this world coming to? When will it be the end?29

When will they rise above to show some love and just be friends?30

When will we remember others' pain?31

Is it when I have lost and try and hope to gain?32

Is it when we realize not to criticize?33

Is it when we see to criticize is suicide?34

Love and hate can't mix very well35

but if we have freedom all will surely tell.36

That girl who lost her dad will become self reliant and cherish life.37

The sixteen year old will realize how sweet sixteen is if you play nice.38

The lady will one day pass away having realized the point of competition.39

The boy with the pink socks plays his on-line games as a computer technician. 40

So what have we learned as we enter a new room?41

Be yourself, try as hard as you can and soon 42

life will seem to change right before your very eyes43

the days will turn brighter and so will the skies.44

When you're young and think the "great ones" will stay45

please think again because the ones who get in your way46

are the ones who have all the fun47

but never see the saddened ones.48

The kids with the problems and the ones who need help49

but you see after time they're the ones who should out.50

"I'm sick of this life, please take it away"51

is not something I want you to say...52

I have a dream that I won't think of anything that would hurt me53

meet anything that would break my heart deeply.54

Trust anyone that would abandon me55

or love anyone who never really loved me..56

Sometimes we have to dream because it is in dreaming that we seek,57

in seeking that we find, our life's desires.58
