Dreams

I dream of a day where I can go anywhere without running into my past.
When the pain and the depression will no longer last.
The fake friends are gone, and I'm chilling with people that are real.
I can learn how to cope with life and the way that I feel.
I have a wife and kid, a house and a car.
Out in the country where the drugs are too far.
Picking up years clean and making everyone proud.
While my grandpa is looking down and clapping his hands in the clouds.
My best friends are clean, and we're doing things big.
We all look so healthy, and not like a twig.
Everyone's happy, and no one is crying.
Nobody I care about is getting high, and my friends aren't dying.
My sister and I talk, and she forgives me for what I did.
I can afford to go out and have fun like a kid.
I graduate college with a degree in my hand.
Going to church on Sundays and following God's plan.
A job as a nurse, working in trauma.
So full of life, steering away from the drama.
My kids grow up in a nice neighborhood, getting good grades in school.
Playing after school sports and not out acting a fool.
My mother is happy, and her problems are gone.
Her bank account is big and the numbers are long.
My grandma is healthy, and not feeling sorry for herself.
She can make a come-up so she lives in the wealth.
My father quits drinking, and starts being more active in my families lives.
And men grow the fuck up and stop mistreating their wives.
Hopefully these things come true, I'll work for them a day at a time.
I have faith god will provide and that as long as I put in the effort I'll get mine.
