I Picture My Future

I Picture My Future
I’ve been really thinking
About my future
I see myself so happy in it
But how do I get there?
I have dreams locked inside my heart
I just hope they can come true..
I see me working somewhere
That makes me truly happy.
Where I wake up everyday
Wanting to get out of bed
And drive to work.
I see me with someone
That makes me absolutely happy.
Where I can run to him
When everything is wrong
And cherish all the smiles and laughs
That we would share.
I see me being held at night
Instead of always being alone..
Where he hugs me
And lets me cry in his arms..
I see my family and I
Getting ourselves out of this mess..
Finally feeling happiness
And having a real smile.
I see myself stop running
From everything that comes near
And letting my heart free
I don’t know what my future is
But I can picture it well enough
I just don’t know where to start..

wow ... a very good well written piece indeed :)
I liked a lot ... the ending sounds so true for so many ... it usually is the hardest part :)

Wow the ending was really a telling emotion of this poem. I like the whole poem but those last lines will register with me for a long time. I have at times for various things felt this way. Sometimes for me it has been scary. Again QP another fantastic write!

I echo all of those who have written to you already. Never lose faith or hope and put your elbow grease in because it takes work to be able to accomplish the things you want and the thing you need. Love may be given freely.. but it takes effort on both sides to make things work.. and not all is magic beans and fairy dust but it is doable and obtainable... :)

Hugs.. Oh, and I always get lost in your questions and forget to say about the write...
Honest.. beautiful and a reflection of many's emotions... :)

To visualize what we want most out of life is the first step to making our dreams a reality. You have captured this theme quite beautifully and I commend you for always keeping your head held high, regardless of the circumstance.

I picture you going very far in this life, QP.

Keep dreaming and always keep reaching for the stars!

Beautiful write, my friend!

Love it. It's very beautiful.
You certainly have an idea of where you need to be.

The best place to start I think is believing you can get there. I don't know the FULL extent of your situations but I certainly hope they're not SO bad you couldn't go somewhere if things go terrible.

You mentioned this guy you love. Maybe he'll be more than happy to take you in.
