Birthday dreams

There i sat feeling a little dazed

It was hilarious watching the kids push for space

The mother stood amidst them, the birthday cake raised

As i watched her manage it all, amazed to still see the smile on her face

The lil boy was turning seven and he stood there like a prince

Everyone has the right to feel like one on their day, that’s their claim

His dad pushing him gently, winking to drop hints

It was time to make that one special wish (that’s granted) upon the candle’s flame

Me in the corner sitting aloof, a smile painted on

Was taken back to my kid years, the ones that now were all gone

Everyday that passes by has to me some age won

And soon it would be that day when my sun would reach another dawn

Yet with every dawn another year speeds away before my eyes

And I feel less like the me i knew and more this stranger affront

The world is not as i had seen it once, its but spun with lies

Where your goodness would send you on a hunt

What bliss it was to not know this all and to think all dreams were *it*

All you had to do was shut those eyes and grasp it within your fingertips

And the worst of nightmares could all go away as soon as the lights were lit

The monsters would run away as soon as you reached your  mothers hips

And now the nightmares and the monster live with you everyday

They take on forms of those you love and leave you helplessly at bay

And you discover the lovely dreams have been stolen from your sight

But its too late now to recover them all even if you put up a fight

PS : For some reason the spacing didn’t work on wordpress tonight!
