We each have dreams
Both large and small
And I am no different.
Over the course
Of my life,
I've dreamt
Of singing
In an opera
And of writing
The next bestselling
Blockbuster novel,
And I've dreamt
Of the same things
Every young girl
Dreams of
When it comes
To sharing my life
With my very own
Prince;
But the one thing
I want more
Than any other thing
Is to find a place
Where I can belong,
Where I can nurture
And be nurtured,
Where I can just be
Myself,
Free of the shame
Of being different
In nearly every respect
From the rest
Of my family.
My most heartfelt prayer
Is that someday
I will find that place
Somewhere deep,
Deep
Within myself,
And I will at last know
That I belong
No matter where
I end up.
