Aspiring ______
The dreamland of wandering
Everything hinged on one dream,
But it sunk in a sugar-tar land
Draw up a new escape scheme.
-
Gates crumbled; the sun snuffed her beam
We bargained with the marching clockhand,
Everything hinged on one dream.
-
Rivers wasted to a dusty trench stream,
Prisoners plotted in the midnight sand
Draw up a new escape scheme.
-
The warning bell clanged, but they ignored its scream.
They dithered and planned into traps firsthand;
Everything hinged on one dream.
-
Where was the warmth of the Gleam?
It shivered and bent to the cold land’s demand
Draw up a new escape scheme.
-
Without the light, we’re a blind stumbling team,
braided with darkness that will only expand.
Everything hinged on one dream.
Draw up a new escape scheme.
About the Creator
If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
