i.
she's in love with childish things
like playgrounds and primary colors and soapbubble wishes
not because she's afraid to grow up
but because she doesn't want to stop believing
since a life without hope isn't worth living
[she knows a cliché is born every minute
and she's pretty sure that's what getting older means]
ii.
mostly she's afraid she's going nowhere
so she's fallen in love with swings and their familiar cadency
and as she soars higher and higher
with each squeal of the rusted metal chains
she can feel herself hit the skies
she's finally found her wings
[she's always been a broken bird with a sweeter song
now she just needs someone who can teach her how to fly again]
iii.
she shines a little brighter than the rest of us
making the sunbeams and moonrays jealous
and when she sleeps
she lives in her dreams
[since she knows that there
wishes are more than just words mumbled at the stars]
iv.
she keeps quiet
and keeps her eyes open
she's waiting for something to tell her what to do
where to go
she's still whispering words at the sky on darkened nights
not realizing that she's already perfect
that all of her dreams are coming true
in the silence between words
the darkness between days
the space between each heartbeat
[she has her own brand of neverland
and there her thoughts will never be wasted
in between the stardust and ocean spray
she's every kind of beautiful]

Dreams can come true, but never fantasies, if you nurture a fantasy, it'll most likely get broken.

I have to find another word now, though. No joke, i was just about to use it with one of the three pieces i am editing.
Yours is better than mine though.

It's not like I own it. Even though if I could own one, I'm sorta partial to this one (or maybe just amaranth for the fictional flower).
Thanks
