Ain'T Gonna Dream Poem by Edgar John Jackson

I ain’t gonna dream
As I did before
I’m just gonna scream
Every time more.

Someone has to hear me
Someone has to understand me
My heart isn’t alone
I feel it in each bone.

Heaven sent an angel down to me
Now I can understand what I see
Maybe now I can not change
But it doesn’t make me strange…

If you hear me cry
It’s because I’m weak
If you hear me speak
It’s because I also try…

Someone has to love me
Someone has to need me
My heart can be so high
Though I can be so shy…
