When I was a child
and life was long
and I could be whatever I wanted to be
Id dream of unicorns
and mermaid songs
and wait for a day I could sprout wings and fly
When I was a teen
and I was immortal
and I could be what I wanted so long as I worked hard
Id dream of book tours
and a mansion on a hillside
and wait for a day I could change the world
Now Im an adult
and Im not immortal
and life is short
and days are long
and there are no book tours
or mansions or mermaids
I've never seen a unicorn
I can't fly away
and all my dreams have turned to wishes
I hold close to myself
hoarded like gold
Sometimes Ill take them out
and shine them til they sparkle
and put them away when the light hurts my eyes
The hope in them burns
but Ill keep them forever
because I cant dream a new dream
for fear Ill give up on reality
