You Cannot Dream A Dream Poem by Dorsey Baker

You fight with others
because you are afraid
to fight with yourself
thinking that you might lose
the fight if you fight
with yourself

you let weakness
overcome your strength
you let darkness
overcome the light
in your life
you give demons
the power to win the fight!
you let
your guard down
and you get hit hard
with illusions
the monster you have become
is taking away
your self esteem
your life is a nightmare
and you cannot
dream the dream!
