Dread /dred/
noun - great fear or anxiety that something bad or unpleasant will happen…
verb - to be seized or arrested by fear or anxiety for an unpleasant circumstance
When I was younger, it felt like i could change reality if i dreamed hard enough,
At night, as i drift to sleep beneath the glow of liquid crystal,
My thoughts would culture and bead,
rolling from my eyes into the ocean of stars
And somewhere among those shining isles,
a pearl would drop,
And offer an escape from this isolation.
What’s my job? What’s my future?
What am I doing with my life?
Why am I not like the stars in the night,
burning with passion?
I could shine too
if only light would reach me,
if only a hole would open wide enough,
to swallow up my pity
What pit can I cast my shame into,
so I’ll shine like I'm meant to?
