Ashes of a Dream

Still at a youngish age, my dream will never be fulfilled. Wishes are made everyday, but why doesn't everybody fulfill them?

I wish to be a superstar,

I wish to be noticed.

I wish to have so many friends,

I can't even count how many any more.

I wish to be a lovable person,

I wish to be loved.

I wish to have a bond so strong,

That nothing can ever break it.

I wish to cry no more tears,

I wish someone would hug me,

To caress me and tell me,

Everything's gonna be alright.

I wish someone would notice me,

Through the pain and the tears,

I wish someone would notice me,

As a true human.

I wish to be accepted as an individual,

Not the shadow of an intelligent woman.

I wish to be seen as me,

As a person with their own dream.

But as the time goes on,

I realise that nothing will ever change.

I will be the same old boring me,

Feeling unfulfilled yet still pressured.

I will be a hermit in my own home,

Afraid of the pressured world outside.

I will not have done what I have always dreamt of,

For everything was thrown into the bin for me.

I will be unknown,

I will not be listened to,

Nor noticed.

I will still be in the shadows,

For that was what I was born to be.
