Blood drips from the wound as I cut my hands on broken dreams

picking up the pieces of the desire to change my life

Flinching with the painful reality as I realise that it may not achievable

The heart beats for freedom from the limbo that I am stuck in

as I bandage my sore hand I see that I am not yet healed

And some day I will live my dream
