"In My Dreams"
By: Hallie

I lay there,
Happy that I have found someone.
I feel the warmth of their skin against mine as they embrace me.
I know that someone finally cares about me,
About my life,
About my hopes,
And most of all,
Me.

And then I hear it,
The noises of the real world.
Slowly I come back to reality,
Only to find that it was just a dream.
When will I find you?
Someone who cares?
I long for the hours when I can go home,
Home to dream,
Dream to be happy.
And in my dreams I come to realize,
Someday I will have to face the world,
And just wait for my dreams to become reality.
