I've been feeling a little stuck lately, so this one may help you or any other furs feel better.


As I look into the night sky

Looking at a far away star

I want to reach out and say hi

Yet I realize it is too far

The night is an endless black

Surrounding me with darkness

I know to watch my back

For life is not painless

Life can hurt us in a split second

Without any rhyme or reason

Determined to keep us down

From spring to the winter season

I stare into the air

Wondering what else is out there

I want to get off the ground

Even if it means weighing a pound

My eyes become tired and heavy

Just like an oversized Chevy

It would appear to seem

That I am beginning to dream

I can feel myself moving around

I have a sense of floating

Moving effortlessly around my room with ease

It won't end, which is what I'm hoping...

My eyes open up wide

As I look down by my side

My body is resting at peace

And all movement has ceased

Nothing feels natural now

I think something has changed

I look in a mirror and see how

I can see I've transformed

I don't know who this is

This is an unfamiliar persona

But as I look closer

I see I've become my fursona

From my head to my tail

My body feels kinda tight

But there's no need to wail

Because this feels all right

As I float towards the window

And pass right through it

Hovering right above the ground

I stare into the black pit

I look closer and begin to focus

It becomes very clear to me

The sky isn't dark at all

The cosmos show themselves to me

Instantly I shoot into the air like a rocket

With no intention of slowing down

I know I'll reach the stars soon

For I am indeed space bound

I escape the pull of the Earth

I fight will all my girth

It becomes very clear

That the stars are very near

I feel a wave of emotion

That fills me with glee

Because there is a notion

That in this world, I can be free

I notice there are others just like me

They're dreaming too, so far and so high

They too have a sense of boundless freedom

Floating around weightlessly just like I

They come greet me and I go greet them

All different sizes, shapes, and colors

Doesn't matter who you are or what you look like

We accept each other as sisters and brothers

I realize this is where I belong

That everything will be just right

I know this will be a good time

Floating around in this endless night

Sadly, this dream has ended

And I have awoken once more

For as long as I have great friends and family

Life will never be a bore

I look outside and see my friends

They look up and wave back at me

For if I didn't have them by my side

I would never truly be free

I only live once, so I should have fun

Regardless of what happens, I know I'll prevail

Because nothing can ever stop me

From happily wagging my tail
