shattered dreams

I dreamt of light beyond the pain, Of sunny skies instead of rain. But every step I tried to take, The world would shift, and hopes would break. They said I’d rise, they swore I could, But left me sinking where I stood. I reached for stars with hands so bare, And found just silence waiting there. Yet in the dark, I hold a spark, A quiet fire against the dark. Though dreams may fall and break apart, There's still a beat inside my heart.
