Some girls dream the same dream

over and over again,

not fame, not power, not riches!

But to marry the beloved of their hearts,

to be, one day, queens of kings.

And some wake up in dirt and tears,

and no one cares about what they’re dreaming,

and no one asks the important question.

How do you feel today?

What do you truly feel today?

For him?

About yourself?

For the crazy world you’re living in?

Some boys dream the same dream

over and over again,

not fame, not power, not riches!

But to live a meaningful life, as real men,

to be, one day, kings for their queens.

And some wake up in sweat and blood

and they don’t ask important questions

because no one, ever, cared.

How do you feel today?

What do you truly feel today?

For her?

About yourself?

For the crazy wars you’re fighting in?

As for myself, I dream the same dream

over and over again,

not fame, not power, not riches!

But to be remembered as the girl

• the luckiest of all -

who learned to ask

all of the important questions.

And yes! She, ultimately,

in spite of all the craziness and pain,

she married the king!
