What I Believe

By Pablo E. Castillo

I believe in a beautiful sunrise,
But only when the world is still asleep.

I believe in dreams and nightmares,
But only because they both exist in the real world.

I believe in a better tomorrow.

I believe in mistakes,
Because the mistakes you make will define you, and make you a better person.

I believe we all lie to ourselves,
Because nobody likes the truth.

I believe that the smallest things can change a person,
Like a small tug of a pin can cause an explosion.

I believe in hope.

I believe in free speech,
But not when the words spoken are filled with threats.

And I believe in a peaceful battle,
Or a revolution,
Because the world will change for the better,
Past perfection.

The world will move forward,
Fueled by hopes,
And beliefs.
