Shattered Dreams

By Julia •
There once was a little girl
Safely tucked away in her room
Daydreaming of her life to come
No cares No worries
Now the woman here today
Safely tucked away in her room
Daydreaming of her life as it once was
Too many cares Too many worries
The shattered dreams - scattered
all around me like broken glass
some just knicking the skin
others cutting to the bone
My shell is numb
Dare to dream no more
but to take that one last breath
and drift away
