Dandelion Dream Poem by Maria Sudibyo

I try to build my dream with foam
Raising a white castle in the water
I try to wash away my fears and scars
But even though I scrub them as hard as I can
The shadow still lingers

So I try to hide
I deeply curl under the blanket
Let the warmth protect me inside
When I surrender to the night

I close my eyes
Listening to the darkness
I look into my heart
Searching for a piece of light

Everything is calm now
Everything will be better tomorrow
Everything is possible now
Everything will find the meaning in time

I try to conquer the mountain
I want to find the eternal fountain
I want to push away the past
But even though I grow as strong as I want
I couldn't forget the horror

So I try to run
I try to reach the sky
But I stumble to the ground
And the grass accepts my fall

I take a breath
The wind felt fresh and clear
I catch a break
Nobody will miss my sorrow

Everything is beautiful here
Everything is fine for the first time
Everything is peaceful here
Everything will come to their place someday
