Me, Dreams, Reality

One bright night In the Twilight of day I awoken to a dream With in a world of worlds Not my self, but still the same What was it? Never more What year was it? Forgotten One must be careful to not remember such imaginary things The sky dose not turn In this world in worlds Me, myself, god and the devil make king Make three I can be anything I want to be I stop the moon and the sun Half of me in light The other half dark I sit up, my legs are gone I rub my eyes with monkey palms And when they open I have monkey paws I’m climbing, swinging and jumping along The branches of the tallest tree Up,up,up and up I go Till there is nothing but the sky And a drawn out view of the horizon I fall Down,down,down and down I go Through a rabbit hole I’m not a monkey but a beast Swimming to the depths of the sea A man eater With gills and rows upon rows of sharp teeth The bottom is dark and cool Something snaps my instincts So I rush to the surface And breach ocean waves I gasp for breath over a sea of Prairie green grass under prairie blue sky My hooves dig into the earth The plans stretch before me The rhythmic earth in me Pounding my hart to beat As my hooves vibrates against soft sand For Iam no longer a stallion of the plans But a lion of the sea My flippers dragging my body from white sand shores Back to the sea Colors explode like fire works Corals, And schools of fish Tranquil and mysteriously The vast binary universe of the ocean blue Stretches out before me Taunting a game of hide and seek I zip and zag From Sid to front And back to forth Gliding and jumping And Spreading my wings Warm damp air catches me Coming cloud fingers through my hair Up,up,up,up and up I go Till the world is a board game boring games are no fun So I turn to the sun, so close The moon so soft I flutter and flap and sing Till my voice is horse And once again I am me Plan, boring always in my head Dreaming of dreams me How I wish I could be stair light Zooming though space Something special Something free Anything oh anything but me I Who dreams of milky ways and alien trains Of foolish wishes and Dagon kisses A spell to never grow up For stories don’t tell children dragons that they exist But That they can be Slain And the true tragedy Is an adult who has forgotten how to play In wonderland Because the dream of children Rot away in grown up brains That will always keep them tethered to land Oh how I wish you could all see The child that hides Inside me, inside you Inside we How Oh how I wish To never grow up Like Peter Pan And fly And fly And never land For being told to grown up are the most devastating Words for a child to understand So I fight it This rule that turns children into men And that is why I can be me For I, in witch I mean me Can almost remember what it felt like to be free To not be tethered to a world of what adults think is not make-believe So I must, I must I must Stay in my head A dreamer of dreaming dream Letting reality be clouded over by fantasy For I just can’t grow up There is so much I still believe So much child wonder As if I was wonka Or Saint Nicholas Perhaps even pixie dust Happy thoughts Let’s get lost in story books And by story books I mean history The truth and I are one Times the stars, time the moon And divided by the sun Let’s cupphone the offspring of man Leave a message on their answering machine That they are none The child,them and I are one I’ll never grow up I will never land I will never stop believing in things that make Life magical The world is not real It’s the ignorance of when an adult Is supposed to stop believing And instead believes That all children must grow up It’s all made up The last strands of childhood Raped up into in world That you can never forget, that you must land And every year we are growing Growing,growing and then we are dead Iam growing Growing, growing Further and further out of childhood Out of happy thoughts We get derailed by dream cops Sucked dry until You forget the Bare Necessities And how pigs fly And that my friends Is all children’s fate But not I No no I For I and me And us And we Will forever forget about my worries and your strife For I do I do I do I do Believe in Fairies And pixie dust And dragons With all my hart Allowing my dreams to blaze free So that I can be anything I want Anything but me Because being me Means forgetting And forgetting kills your dreams So take my hand A deep breath Think happy thoughts A bit of pixie dust And take a leap of faith Believe.
