Faint Daydream

What makes a faint daydream?
Is it something locked away at the back of your mind,
Something you want, but shouldn't?
Something you need to hide?
In other words, something like me?

Faint - distant, hazy, unrealized.
Something seen, but not clearly defined.
Something you know is there,
But can't tell exactly what it is or means.
In other words, something like me.

Daydream - a dream while awake,
One you have complete control over,
Something you can stop, change focus on,
Push to the back of your mind, never to return.
In other words, something like me.

Why am I the faint one, always?
Why am I only ever a daydream?
Never reaching my full potential
Because no one will ever see anything but
A Faint Daydream.
