Some dreams are haunting-but the dreams of children are magical.
CarolHawks

Dreams are places where Truth seeks refuge when this illusion becomes unbearable

for a 17 year old this poem's really good!

Yes some dreams die.........to make room for new ones :-) Good write.

A beautiful poem, was spawned from a beautiful little girl. :o)

I believe the little girl of 17 writing about her dreams is still alive and has not given up on the possibility that her dreams may yet come true.A dream does not die I think I heard someone say only the dreamer and you are far too young and talented to die so let's wait for your dreams to happen.

Never give up your dreams. See it the way you want it to be in your imagination, and it will happen. (From the "bible" of goal setting.)

Well done at 17.

Powerfully sad piece about growing up and leaving our innocence behind, and your last stanza says it all.

Awww bittersweet...but beautiful package!!
