The Western Dream – Troy Crawford (WINNER)

The glimmering lights of the west coast,

Is what my heart desires the most,

To walk across the Golden Gate bridge, would be a dream for me

Oh the things I would do just to feel free.

Along the Santa Monica pier, the sun blaring down onto the pacific ocean

Reflecting off the faces of the passerbys

And into the beautiful blue skies

On the contrary I live on the east coast, where the bleak Atlantic mist clings to the pines

A colder grey than California’s sunny coastline 

The warmth is rare here like seeing a colorful elephant fly

Oh how my heart yearns for The Western Dream. 

One day. I tell myself, One day I’ll be free
