The Child who had no dreams
There was a kid, playing in the park. It was late, mid night and it was dark. I walked up to him and said. Hey kid shouldn't you be home, in bed. Does your parents know you are here. He looked at me, with a face full of tears. I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child. I get no mother kisses and no daddy smile. I know its sad it seems. But I'm a child who has no dreams. So I stay in the park all day. Until Midnight, I play. Laughing and looking up to the sky. That keeps the hurt inside. Then he started to swing like he had forgotten everything . I looked up to the sky. As tears started to fall from my eyes. It made me plainly see. That this child, was once me.
