Wild Heart

Last night... I dreamed of a child with a wild unbroken heart and smiling mischievous eyes  She was wearing a rainbow dress and socks that did not match A perfect mess clothed in innocence and wonder With a dirty face and chipped nail polish on her tiny fingers As I watched her dance and laugh I felt the sudden urge to paint outside the lines

This is quite haunting in a sense, written in great depth and thought provoking..
