Where Are Those Dreams Now? Poem by Izobelle Pulgo

I used to dream of blue skies
And glittery nights
Green trees swaying, as the wind sighs
No tears, no pain, no sad, lonely plights.

I was always eager for the rain
As my little brother lets his paper boat sail
It was joy - pure, simple, and plain
Nothing to lose, nothing to hate, nothing to fail.

Where are those dreams now?
Where did those people go?
Why did the laughters become far and few in between?
What did I do?

Where are those dreams now?
Did I lose them along the way?
Lost them - not knowing when, not knowing how
My dreams that wouldn't have let me astray.

Gone are the blue skies
The birds that used to fly across the horizon, so free
The trees ceased their dance
And glittery nights became this darkness where I couldn't see...

There are tears, there are pain
And then there is my sad, lonely plight
I wish I can say, my demons I have slain
But it was my dreams, and now I'm just a little girl
Who can't even win her fight.
