A Dream

[Inspired by Jay-Z's a dream]

Last night I had a dream thoughts racing through my head felt so real to me this is what was said to me.

“Had a dream.” I said.
“About what?” he said.
“My life.” I said.
“My life?” he said?
“It flashed before my eyes.” I said.
“Your dying?” he said.
“No.” I said “In dreams.” I said. “I see my life before my eyes.” I said
“is it bad?” he said
“It’s not all good.” I said
“Not good if your talking to me.” He said.
“That’s why I’m here.” I said

“proceed.” He said
“Don’t rush me.” I said.
He said nothing and just nodded what I guessed to be an apology. I repeated what was said. “That’s why I’m here.” I said “It seemed all a dream.” I said
“What they say?” he said
“they made me ask questions.” I said
“About who.” He said
“About me.” I said
“What going to happen to us?” he said.
“What’s not going to happen to us?” I said
“Don’t repeat what I say.” He said
“Life is hard.” I said “Life is sad.” I said
“Life makes you want to dream.” He said
“I see.” I said.
“you do.” He said. “at night.” He said.

“I am such a fool.” I said “Stupid stupid stupid.” I said.
“What’s wrong with me?” he said “What do I fail to understand?” he said
“How can I open my eyes wider?” I said
“Stupid stupid stupid.” He said
“Such a fool.” I said “I try but I aint trying hard enough.” I said “I’m in despair.” I said
“What’s going on?” he said
“Everyday my life is a dream.” I said “I cant get out of it.” I said
“You can only dream out of it.” He said.
“It is so much easier to believe I am stupid and I am wasting my life, than that this dream is reachable.” I said
“This is all you have to hold on to.” He said
“This is all I know to do” I said
“You are writing now.” He said
“Its all I can do.” I said “Everyday I feel as if I have tricked people into beliving I have talent I have a gift.”
“I will be something.” He said
“Everyday I am treated like I have nothing, I am nothing, I have been a major dissapoinment.” I said
“Everyday I amaze someone else.” He said
“Everyday I am told I need to wake up from this dream I am living.” I said
“The hard truth of the matter is…”

“I realize I have doubts, problems, and dreams to squash.” I said
“You realize you have dreams, chances, and places to be.” He said
“But I hold myself back.” I said.
“Back yourself into a corner?” he said
“I realize I cant go back I’m stuck here.” I said “Its now or never.” I said
“Jump now or never.” He said

“you’ll make it I know.” He said.
“I said that yesterday.” I said. “but now it’s Wednesday.” I said
“Or that was Thursday.” He said.
“I cant remember it’s all a dream.” I said “If walking to a dream is like walking a tight rope across the pit of hell then I suspect I have but a fingers grasp on the rope.” I said
“I suspect you have one last bit of hope.” He said
“One last chance at a dream.” I said “It’s a dream.” I said
“It’s an impossible dream.” He said
“On my ankles I feel chains.” I said
“of doubts, disbelief, disappointments, discouragements, and discipline?” He said.
“They make my tight rope trick seem impossible.” I said
“But then again as Beckham said the story is not what you did.” He said
“But what you got through to do it.” He said.
“Impossible is nothing.” He said.
“Just keep doing your thing.” I said. “Say no more.”
