Never Sell Your Soul to Dreams
November 8, 2011
A dream will not be truthful nor sincere,
nor will forgive those welcomers of pain
who err by turning to reality,
to all that lies beneath the heaven's reign.
A dream can have no shoulder to cry on,
nor lends a helping hand when you grow old.
A dream cannot be solid nor be touched.
How does it hide your stone-hard looming load?
Oft it will never vanish nor will leave.
But if it does it shatters in sharp shards
of drunken love, of pain long lost. Alas!—
our nature is so; beware what it guards.
Don’t ever sell your soul to dreams, they say.
If only I had listened; now, I pray.

I think you did a pretty good job considering you chose to write about dreams and anytime a writer chooses that as a subject it can easily turn cheesy. However the fact that wrote about it in a more negative point of view without going into the idea of "nightmares" makes it an original piece, so I commend you for that :)
