it is such an ordinary question

i've been asked many a times

in my childhood and even now.

what would you want to be

my lifesavings of choices

I made will gather moss

around my rolling stone  years

but deep down in my heart

I wanted to be a dreamer 

it's odd you laugh at me.

for that is what I wanted to be.

the science class

failed to explain

why the dreams ever took place.

there were plenty of hypotheses

but none that mattered to me.

In my mind being a dreamer

meant pleasant life

and all I had to to was close my eyes.

Silly how as a child I knew

no one would really understand me.

Its so sad that our dreams

change into sad reality

but if dreams did stay true

to wishes of my childhood

I would still be building images

weaving fables and tales

that would make my earth 

a better place.

If only my dreams were let free.....
