I dream of a day without fear.

Of a world with possibilities and no boundaries.

Of a chance to express myself openly,

without holding back.

I dream of kind words and complements.

Of someone sincere acknowledgement,

Of poetry without tears and pain.

without cutting put downs.

I dream of a chance to be me.

Of being the person I ought to be,

a complete person, instead of shreds of me

instead of a fragment of who i am.

I dream of seeing the sun as a beginning.

Of welcoming the new day as a new start.

Of feeling its rays as warm embrace of hope,

instead of the reminder of more of the same.

I dream of salvation, of a loving God.

Of a unconditional love and togetherness.

Of the certainty of continuity and eternal joy.

The kind that no one sees, but everybody craves.

I dream of a better tomorrow.

Of days with challenges and victories.

Of proving to myself that I persevered .

To show the light in my eyes burns brighter.

I dream of loving myself more.

Of learning to treasure the soul within me.

Of keeping my body healthy and beautiful.

Beautiful to me, only to me.

I dream of being loved.

Of knowing that I am loved

Of feeling what is like to be loved,

no conditions, no requests. Just you and I.

Talk to your teenager, maybe he want's to tell you something.

You dont have to hide, Parents are going to worry regardless. Now you know what it feels like and can help others to cope and raise above it. Blessings.

Thank you for your kind comment. This was inspired by 3 teens and their battle with depression. Blessings

Beautiful. This captures the essence of what many teens feel daily. Thank you for capturing this into words and posting. I hope many teens see so they can understand that adults are not as blind as they sometimes they think we are.

As a parent,I can asure you that is not easy to admit that your baby might feel sad or depressed. I have 3 teens one of them has bipolar disorder and the other two are cronicly depressed. Even though It runs in our family, it hurts the same to see your child suffer in silence. The more we try to hide what's eating at our soul the bigger the burden becomes. At that age you are going through so much even though your life seams "perfect". It hurts the same. I am so proud of you for reaching out, and finding an outlet in poetry. In my case poetry was the thing that kept me with a wider perspective during my teenage years. And it kept me open to help others open up and work out their problems. Is amaizing how you can pour out in paper what it seams to be the most painful of experiences and read it two weeks later and realized how strog and powerful your spirit really is. Take care my dear.

I started getting depressed when I was probably 12 or 13. I felt like I had to hide it from my parents so they would think I was "normal" and wouldn't have to worry about me. I wish they'd known the right things to ask or look for - my youth might have been a little easier with help.
