Langston Hughes Version:

Hold fast to dreams For if they die

Life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly

hold fast to dreams

for if they go life is a barren field frozen with snow

MY version:

Hold fast to dreams For if they die

Life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly

hold fast to dreams

for if they go life is a barren field frozen with snow

But what if I like the snow

and the barren field makes it easier for me to go?

What if my dreams have been long gone

and I have forgotten that flying was ever done?

What if I want to die?
