Dare To Dream Entries: Day One

Leading up to the Friday deadline for Dare To Dream Project entries, we'll be posting some of what organizer, Jasmine Wood, has received so far. These submissions were picked randomly and will not necessarily be the winners: None of the judging has begun yet.

"Silence

I cannot speak;
There are no words left for me to say.
I cannot talk;
All that’s left is for me to pray.

Pray that you will see the agony,
That once lined my face.
Pray that you will see the tears,
That no longer leaves a trace.

The pain that once left me
Doubled over in horror.
The scars that have bidden me
No longer able to soar.

My smiles seems fake,
But it’s all that I can do.
My heart once did break,
Though I’m not entirely blue.

All that I try,
I cannot change back.
As though I’ve completely
Become lost from the track.

Silently I speak,
Though it sounds more of a yelp.
The word won’t come from my lips.
That word is help."

If you're between the age of 13-20 and would like to submit an entry to the Dare To Dream Project, please visit the Facebook group for more info or e-mail perfect.dreamer@hotmail.com.
