It haunts my dreams, turning them into nightmares.

The dream makes me feel safe, but when I wake up I cry, for my own mind is taunting me with things I cannot have.

A friend.

A day without fear.

A feeling of being wanted.

A dream of acceptance.

But hey, everyone has dreams...

The fact is... dreams are for sleeping. when you open your eyes you have to face life.

Without friends.

Fearing what around the next bend.

Knowing you're not wanted, or needed.

The fact that acceptance is an illusion that is always just out of reach.
