I’ve Got a Zillion Dreams— You Can’t Stop Me!

Air fills my lungs, 

Basking in hot sun

Crying to sad music while

Dreaming of love and dance.

Echoes of blue winged birds in the morning

Fade out into the distance.

Girly things, and

High heels

I am too young to wear.

Jumping the ocean waves

Kissed by sunlight

Letting go of shame.

Melting into bliss, these wonders

Nullify my fears so I may

Open the door with a

Pounding heart that

Quietly beats to the drum of journey.

Running beyond the barrier

Soak every drop of hope.

Though,

Underneath there is 

Vulnerability hidden,

Wrapped in my warm blue sweater—

X-ray upon my heart

You may find I am made of a

Zillion dreams and more

Hi! I'm Jessica Kenny, a senior in high school. I wrote this abecedarian following my study of the American Poetry Journal (2017 Edition) last year. It demonstrates my habit of dreaming, and how I use it to overcome my fears.
