cant dream

to be six years old and unable to dream to only be able to remember but never to project hopes and wishes to live in a wonderful world of makebelieve while awake for sleep brings only night terrors and heartache to never be able to reach that wonderland of dreams to skip through meadows to swing higher and higher on the swing giggling as your daddy pushes you higher and higher to imagine bouncing off of clouds made of candy and soaring high as you see yourself flying to meet everyone in the perfect light no fighting or yelling or hurting to be six and to never have dreamed that is a sin
