it's hard to be a dreamer

it's hard to be a dreamer these days
can't be paying rent with beautiful ideas
or songs sung to silent walls alone in an
attempt at expressing my humanness

it's hard beyond this, too
we've all got this one life
and the hurting world...
how do i bring beauty of
some semblance of
gratitude, praise,
to fuel myself through these cycles
it's still winter
and i'm finding it hard
to be a dreamer
