My untamed heart so easily builds, <br />Dreams of an unbound love, <br />And even though it breaks each time, <br />I just can’t get enough. <br />Unknown desires present themselves, <br />Only in slumber, I guess, <br />But reality brings hopelessness, <br />And leaves my mind in a mess. <br />I feel the pain of waking to a bitter life, <br />But time and again I find, <br />A fairytale moment is still more precious <br />Than the heartache it leaves behind. <br />Like a bird in a golden cage, <br />I stay a slave to the dreams I see, <br />And these golden bars, they break my wings, <br />When I face reality. <br />Until I create an outside world <br />Filled with the beauty of the cage, <br />I’ll bear the pain of breaking away, <br />And still come back to age. <br />I try hard to realize my vision, <br />But only in vain, it seems, <br />And until I fulfill them, I’ll stay <br />A slave to my dreams.<br /><br />Vidushi Khera<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-slave-to-my-dreams/
