Dreamer (A Short Story)

"لسة الناس متعلمتش تتقبلنا بسهولة...كلنا بنحاول نرتفع عن البيئة المتخلفة اللي احنا جاين منها...يعني ايه زوزو؟! مين زوزو؟!...كل شوية تيجي موجة تشلني فوق للسما و تقوللي برافو عليكي يا زوزو. و بعد لحظة تنازلني القرار و تقوللي خليكي هنا، انتي زوزو!!!" سعاد حسني_خلي بالك من زوزو

The diminishing of a dream comes in seconds. You feel so ecstatic, so happy that your happiness is so much for the world to bear to the extent that it gets determined on diminishing it. That glow in your eyes, that love that they scream, that heart that dances loud and sing, they all say it with a beat: “I am happy, I have a dream”.

I dreamt of a man of fine morals and heart. I dreamt of a man who embraced me in his arms. I dreamt of a man who dreamt of me the night I dreamt of him. I dreamt of a man who I met on the next day of my dream and we fell in love. I am happy world! Take me in, embrace me! Make me the center and revolve around me! Take me in world, take me in! Accept my happiness world for it’s the only thing I ask for.

One day I got so happy that my heart couldn’t beat and my lungs couldn’t exhale. One day I felt so happy that the world was too small for me and I was too big for it. One day I dreamt a dream and I decided to pursue it and I did and I thought I succeeded. One day I had my smile on my face with a heavenly glow that I couldn’t stop from flowing just because I thought I pursued my dream. But the world, for being too small for me, decided that no one should be bigger than it is. The world decided that my dream was too big to be achieved. The world decided that the only way to oversize me, as it always did, is to demolish the dream, along with the dreamer. And that is what I am exactly; a dreamer. A dreamer in a big dream that couldn’t be achieved in a barren society with mind as big as a jelly bean. That is what I am, a dreamer!
