Picture perfect dreams,
Are being held together
by worn and breaking seams.
Every tiny stitch endures a lot of stress, for even if just one slips
it all becomes a mess.
My dreams are long and perfect
I know where I want to be,
but everything is riding
on those tired and aching seams.
At times my life is heavy
but so far the stitches have held,
I'm not really worried,
because I know I have sewn them well.
