Dreamcatcher

By Lakshita Makker

She was spinning her dreams late at night,

All alone and with so much to hide.

She wanted to lose herself in the silence of night,

But still she was holding herself up and everything else too tight.

She used to wonder why she wants so much from life,

Probably she wanted to be a wonder woman and only that could suffice.

There was a little girl hiding beneath a growing and mature woman,

Who always believed in magic and good omen.

She was so full of life from inside,

That she could enjoy things with no one beside.

Yet in the midst of stillness and quietness at night she craved for someone to catch her,

But then she looked at her bedside and laughed that for now there’s no prince charming but her Dreamcatcher.
