each year
adults place
invisible shackles on their bodies.
they call it progress
being an adult
realistic.
call it what you may,
bonds drown you
restrict happiness
kill dreams and laughter.
the soul dies by the hands of the pessimist.
it's okay to dream
to put action behind the dream
and before you know it
you are living the dream
creating a blissful reality
one baby step at a time.
