Famous Dreams

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKfDwChOoHI

I thought I had a dream
where life was how I wanted it to be
I woke up to see
that this dream wasn' t a reality

I thought I had a dream
where I could fly with the stars
(instead) I woke to screaming cars
and nothing but scars

If only I could dream of happiness
then maybe I would be satisfied
with the mediocridy of nullified
Or perhaps dream of loneliness
and be content with happiness

--------------------------
FOOTNOTE:
Im not sure about the whole last stanza. I feel like it explains the previous two stanzas, but may be too dfficult to understand. I guess I'll leave it for now and make changes later.

This poem was inspired my numerous things- one being Martin Luther King's opening line, "I had a dream....". The other inspiration is a song by Priscilla Ahn, "Dream." Both are wonderful. Last is my previous post about my dreams.

Comment if you feel, please!
