The Weight of Dreams

Hope and Heartache

By Rohitha LankaPublished 10 months ago 1 min read

A thousand dreams are in my heart,

looking for a place to fly,

all sorrows are wrapped up together,

I am smiling,

without the slightest push to get up,

I am crying in my dreams,

There is a big story in the game I am playing to get up,

There is a big story in the game I am playing,

...

Those who are struggling to get up,

have a lot of heavy stories in their hearts,

They only know their own hearts,

They are unable to get up,

With a bunch of dreams,

They are playing a big game,

Only their hearts know how hard that game is.
