The Dream Where I’m in Focus By: Sachi Dixit

 The Dream Where I’m in Focus By: Sachi Dixit 

Last night, 

I was the main character. 

Not blurry. 

Not standing in the background 

while everyone else spoke louder. 

The sky looked painted, 

as if someone cared enough 

to mix the colors slowly. 

Lavender clouds. 

Gold at the edges. 

The streets were empty 

but not lonely 

like they belonged to me. 

The air felt light, 

easy to breathe. 

My steps were quiet 

but sure, 

like I knew where I was going 

even if I didn’t. 

Nothing rushed me. 

Nothing needed explaining. 

It was just simple 

walking under a sky 

that looked made on purpose, 

in a world that felt calm 

and wide 

and somehow 

exactly the right size for me.
