is a dream | day 16/30 days of april poems

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken winged bird
That cannot fly
-Langston Hughes

Is a dream worth dreaming if it never comes true?
Are wings worth having, if you never fly?
Is it worth it to live, when we all die?

Is a story worth telling if nobody listens?
Is it worth it to know, if there is nothing you can do?
And if we fail, why bother to try?

Like a feather falling on the ground,
Like a raindrop in the leaves,
Like a song that’s lost to wind and pain
Like a bird with broken wings.

Tell me why, oh, tell me why.

About Isabelle Knight 232 Articles
Hi! My name is Isabelle Knight, and I'm the young writer and middle-grade author of the Enchantria series! I love writing (though the writing process is usually both magical and maddening) and have been writing since I was ten. When I'm not writing about eerie shadows, daring heroines, and magic, I'm usually stuck with my nose in a book, drawing, or playing the ukulele or tin whistle.
