I've dared to dream, have you yet?

Nivedita Baraily

I dare not speak a word about my dreams to a single soul,

Frightened and petrified it will be crushed whole.

I dare not count on you, or you; to believe in me,

Hurt and betrayed ample times, you see.

But I would dare not think my dreams are futile,

Kept my courage and hope in a stockpile.

Wondering if I can ever make it,

In the world of literature be lit.

Had I not had faith,

Had I not done grace;

I would be frightened and petrified, hurt and betrayed.

But I chose to be strong and determined, brave and be read.
