EMPTY DREAMS

My smiles are as gentle as the ocean floor My feelings as painful as a freshly acquired sore.
My heart and mind are shackled by expectations of those who came before me

Wish I could be free to live and dream.
Dream of a world without societal chains and burdens holding me in captivity.
Dream of a world of freedom and equality
Dream of a world with one people undivided by race,colour and class
Dream of a world without sorrow and tears

Wish my dreams could be a reality but they are nothing but dreams.
Life would have been so much better if humans could just treat each other like they would a brother or sister.
Instead of being heartless,cruel and bitter

I know my words are empty and nothing but dreams
But this is a kind of dream I would love to have and never wake up
