Buried dreams
Let’s revisit her buried dreams
Those she traded in for excuses
Those replaced by insecurities
The ones that had her talking
Those God delayed in transporting
Untapped shapers of her reality
Those suckers who sneak up in the middle of her sad story
The last sparks of a dead engine
Let’s revisit her buried dreams
For this we must dig deeper than six feet
Traveling through inferiority complex
Shopping for antique pieces of she
Hidden in open places
On display for all to se
Right behind the cover girl life she strives to live
Let’s revisit her buried dreams
In this game of hide and seek, at every turn she must pay a fee
Careful, graveyards are scarily rich you see
Burial grounds please release her buried dreams from your grip
Those things that fear, loss, pain and life’s alter hold still
Let’s revisit her buried dreams
Picking up bits and pieces of her identity, pawned for what she believed to be peace
Let’s revisit her buried dreams
To find out why she is and who she could be
Dreams to be: a preacher, singer, writer, beautiful but most importantly to be free
Let’s revisit her buried dreams,
The recent tormentors in her head and dreams
Proof of a life of settling and mediocrity
Let’s revisit her buried dreams
In resurrecting them they might just breathe life into her
So it’s what the risk
Instead of digging her grave I hope she digs up her buried dreams
