27. I Have A Dream

My voice resonates
across the bathroom tiles
And my lips give way
to a smile.
My wet fingers trail over 
an imaginary piano,
It's a dream
no one can ever know.
The audience sings along
And I close my eyes to listen 
to my own song.
Specks of light appear in the sky
It makes me happy,
I won't deny.
I cry, jump and swirl,
I had this dream 
since I was a little girl.
For once, I feel proud
And satisfied with who I am.
This feeling is so beautiful,
It's so magical.
Please don't take it away.
I want to hear them shout,
I want to hear them sing.
I want to hear myself sing.
Please.
But alas!
There's a knock on the door
And my mother shouts at me
to come out.
Music is a dream to me,
A dream I can live
only with my eyes closed.
