Childish
Whatever doesn't stay
Has to go
Building my world
With legos
Making everything
Around me
Come alive
With some imagination
I strive to
Reconstruct my dreams
Then I sit down
And with my minds eye
I make it real
Like it was before
My own world
To unfurl and explore
As I walk
I create my reality
My surroundings
From the tropical seas
To the forest filled
With mystical
All knowing trees
But time
It flies straight and true
Never turning back
To look at the view
My world
My conscience
Badly bruised
Ignorance is bliss
But I can see it coming
The tropical seas
The mystical trees
A gentle warm breeze
My reality is fleeting
And I find myself
Needing hot chocolate
For I am not in
Some childish dream
I am facing the
Icy winds and people
Of the city
My tall trees
Become buildings
High in the sky
The sea of people
Around me
Forces me into
Society
