in your unfulfilled dreams.

We depart
the joy of childhood
only to find ourselves caged
in the adult,
we didn’t see coming.

grow up
keeping the child alive.

grow unperturbed by a
parent’s expectations.
Lest we raise
broken future adults.

Inside the framework,
the child hides,
dreams of yesterday
peering from his mind.

I wish I could be a child again
to play and dream.

But the child inside all of us
lies lurking for innocent pleasure.

trapped inside us
who is waiting to be

The child caged
inside the minds of men,
is it too late to set him free!?
