I had dreamed
Of that day,
Fantasised about it
For as long as I can remember;
To press my face up against the airplane window,
Seeing the Statue of Liberty
Looming up ahead,
Hearing the captain's voice say,
"Welcome to New York.
Hope you enjoy your stay".
But that dream,
That fantasy,
That hope I once had
Has been dashed,
Destroyed,
Demolished,
Drowned.
And I am left crying,
Broken,
Disappointed.
All I wanted was a chance
For a better life,
But all I am left with
Is dashed dreams...
