Analysis of Confidence in dreams
It was long ago I had a thought
Which started as a spark
Which ignited into a dream.
But it was fear that drowned out the flames
It was long ago I had a heart
Which began to beat
Which grew to love
And cast the fear away
It was preasure Which broke the heart
Which cast a doubt
I couldnt chase away
Which caused such pain
But I will never again allow myself to fear
I have a thought
I will ignite into a spark
And I will learn to dream again!
