Neverland

Today I will dream of the what-ifs. I will dream of la-la land. I will plunge into the deeps of the wishing well. I will taste rainbows and drink from foamy rivers. I will dream today. Dreaming neither of today nor of tomorrow but of the what-ifs. I shall weave a crown out of stars. My robe shall be made out of hope. My sandals shall be made of precious jewels. I shall be a queen and no longer the pauper. Let me dream of what-ifs. Let’s say the sun was the moon and vice versa? What if you and I were royalty in disguise? Suppose hate was turned to love ? What if the laws of never were broken? Suppose “weird” became the new “normal” What then would I be? If the world were turned upside down…then would I be good or bad? Angelic or evil? Let me dream of the what-ifs. Only for today…I am not insane. Just weary of living in the today. Let me eat something besides bread of tears. For once let me dream of something better. I sit here and I look around me and I dream. For dreaming is escaping a life that is filled with wants. So I dream and stare at stars. For my soul is breaking in to a million pieces. Dreaming is the only way of remaining sane. Do not reach for me let me be.
