“My Dream Life”
By Ashley O’Hare
When dreams slowly fade
back into the life I made,
how do I cope with
the disappointment?
Is it too late
for change?
The world I reached
when I was fast asleep
seemed tailor made for me.
I want to effortlessly smile.
I want the energy to go the extra mile.
If I just close my eyes,
maybe I’ll stay this time.
