kiduse2dream
I have always been a dreamer. I dreamed I would get to star in a sitcom. I dreamed I'd be in a movie. I dreamed I could play stadiums to a sell out crowd. I tried to take opportunities but they were always just out of reach. What I have left is to write about what never was.

What I Did Not Do Today in The Kid Used To Dream

The Cook in The Kid Used To Dream

Weird Dreams in The Kid Used To Dream

The Lone Loner in The Kid Used To Dream

I wasn't ready to lose you in The Kid Used To Dream
You read that title and think someone died. Although they are alive and well it’s the part of them that is no longer with us. It sounds selfish of me to think that way. Do I get to have feelings...
Processing in The Kid Used To Dream
It’s like the cliche - “It’s not you, it’s me!” Or is it? Maybe, it’s all involved. It’s everyone. Lately, I have gotten caught up in how political happenings have been effecting everyone ...
Roommates in The Kid Used To Dream
There comes a point when you will feel like an ornament. You sit on the shelf and you are there because you remind someone of how they felt the day they found you. You represent a moment of happ...

Why Do I do This to Myself in The Kid Used To Dream
