Denial Of Dreams Poem by Moore Hope

Dreams are confusing what are they trying to say
Are they subconscious thoughts in your head of wishes one day?

For if this true and they are your desires of thought
Then many dreams that I have had, can never be sought.

I try not to think of them but yet in my head they are there
The visions that linger, the excitement in my heart I do fear.

For the dreams that I've had are against my belief
And to have such desires give me no signs of relief.

Are these feelings the truth or are they just all desires?
Are they configurations of my mind of what true love will conspire?

I am afraid to act out on these dreams; I don't want to admit they are true
I have to ignore them and keep on living my life as I do.

I must remain the person I have molded myself to be
And not give into my true desires the dreams that are haunting me.

The parallel world of what I know deep inside my heart
The division of love and the faith which I follow that is setting them apart.

So in reality I walk in the pretend shoes I have made
Living life with many masks for the truth to barricade.
