Killer Of Dreams Poem by Matthew Densley

Killer Of Dreams

Rating: 5.0


Through all the years you held me back
Till all my clouds of hope turned black
And rain fell down in perpetual storms
This made it hard to keep on track

With all your plans and all your schemes
To keep me under your regimes
Until my desires had run out
For you are the killer of dreams

Chances would come and pass me by
My only chance to touch the sky
You took that from me jealously
And never could you tell me why

You stopped me moving towards each goal
And buried me in this deep wet hole
Never to be free until the day
That I become a bitter troll

For all the dreams that you attack
All the troubles that you will stack
That I will never overcome
And you won't cut me any slack

I get the milks but not the cream
No cheers of joy but only screams
I watch my hopes all turn to tatters
As they are fraying at the seams

You keep me grounded never to fly
Not given the chance to even try
You doubt me in all that I do
And all my dreams you will deny

My minds cages trap my soul
I feel like I have no control
These blocks set by my self esteem
The part of me that's never whole
