Do you remember your power?
The childhood ability
To dream of the impossible
And bring it to life
Friends with no substance
Explanations beyond science
Reality was nothing more than clay
This power was the source of fun
And the push for our ambition
Defiance in the face of adults
Who swore it had no purpose
Because they had forgotten
That they once held the power too
As time went on many lost it
Like a muscle that is never used
Our power shriveled and weakened
Crippled by the horror of adulthood
Our friends of fiction vanish
Leaving behind a misty memory
That we call childhood foolishness
We have moved on to the ‘real’ world
Letting our great power die
No longer remembering its joy
Becoming the adults who stifled us
With their atrophied imagination
that’s a great post.. we should all nurture that child within
