Dreams

I could write a haiku,
about my left-over dreams.
Those dreams that you have when you're not quite awake,
but not quiet asleep.

Like how I could move to LA
and start my own movie company.
Writing scripts for the best,
filling up my pride and self-esteem.

This dosen't mean I will drop everything,
and move to LA.
With only $20 and a dream,
to guide my way.

To be swept into the current,
left astray.
Become a small diner waiter,
with nothing to my name.

Sometimes I dream though,
that I could write a famous play.
I don't think I ever will though,
because I am stuck in my hometown,
here to stay.

Isn't it funny though,
how we root ourselves,
and don't take risks.

Oh, how I wish you would play.
