Child
By: Nessa

Misty warm fire inside
The cold prison of your dreams.
Small, fisted hand, child,
You'd chase anything.

Dream slow...

Illusion of your conjured dreams
Like a fog bright in this dark --
Small-minded, eternal belief, child,
Like your small beating heart.

Dream slow...

Blinking like a gullible fool
Whose world came crashing down
When you face the delusion of your dreams --
What will you do now?
Oh child of eternal faith,
And ever-lasting belief,
Now old and scarred and dead within,
What happened to your dreams?
