Song of a Dreamer, Why Do You Still Dream?


Don’t tell me who I am please

Truth is you don’t really know me

I may not be who I seem

But I’m more than what you say

I don’t know if you’re really you

But I know that I won’t ever try to

Put you where I think you belong

Don’t tell me what I can’t do

Don’t tell me to be like them

Like you

Do you ever feel that you were made for more?

My whole life is waiting for me

But I’m powerless to be

Anything but me

Right now

Who I am is not who I want to be

I could change

I could be that me out there waiting

But I’m too afraid

That path may be the path less traveled by

And maybe when its time

I’ll choose it after all

But for now my dreams

Seem to be all that keeps

Me from falling down again

My God has me in His hand

And He has a plan

But why do I still wonder?

Song of a dreamer, why do you still dream?

Ask me why I breathe.

Ask me who I am.

Ask me why my soul must sing.

  2. Wow Laura! I could feel you saying this, like it was so personal, i love it so much! that was so beautiful! I get what you mean, about there being another side to you, i'd like to get to know that side :) and i love your last four lines, "Ask me why i breathe. Ask me who I am. Ask me why my soul must sing. Song of a dreamer, why do you still dream?" It was so intense, and so emotional, thank you for writing and sharing that.
