Oh, to close my eyes
and to unsee the world
I've seen!
I wish to dream a world
of gaiety and bliss,
with woes unknown,
with unicorns and rainbows,
and sugary sweets all around.
Where is the pill
that can render me so
unaware of the world
and let me forever dream
and never wake?
I dare not,
I will not,
consume such a pill.
I know the dream is not real.
Such a world does not exist.
I must awaken and see
the world for what it is.
I must realize
that the world I seek
can only be real
as I make to be.
Once achieved,
and then only,
will true gaiety and true bliss
be real.
Perhaps there will be
real unicorns and real rainbows.
One thing I know will be for sure:
There will be sugary sweets everywhere
And many friends to share them with.
