New reply from Susan Katz
<p>Thank you for submitting your poem for consideration for Featured Poem of the Month. I like the idea of this "dream" being just your secret. It adds drama and a sense of self to the poem. – Susan</p>

Secret
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">Life, what is life?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">I don't think I deserve but </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">now I'm just preserved in pain.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">Mine, who is mine?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">I had only few but now they all flew away</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">I wish I could tell someone,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">that you are the only one,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">I want to be with you always together.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">Disclosing my lonely side.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">Cause I am the only child.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">I wish you could hold me now and forever.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">These are few ashes of my life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">I still try to hide like I always cry alone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">These are few ashes of my life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">I want to heal but I just don't feel like home.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">But sometimes I think </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">there's someone far away.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">Hearing my voice and </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">telling that he's on his way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">You're my last hope and I'm</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">waiting for you all day.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">Please don't stay, just take me away.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">I know you'll not be perfect</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">Just be my secret.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">Go, where should I go?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">I can't find a place that I </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">can still face anymore.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">Me, You still judge me.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">This is who I am and I </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">know that I can't afford.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">I wish I could be happy</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">Like everyone when I see.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">I don't know but it feels like hell.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">Now I don't even feel the breeze.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">I'm alone but there's no peace.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">Nobody likes me for being myself</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">These are few ashes of my life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">I still try to hide like I always cry alone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">These are few ashes of my life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">I want to heal but I just don't feel like home.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">But sometimes I think </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 19.6px;">there's someone far away.</span></p>
