Attempt to Dream
What is an attempt to dream
Is it as easy as it seems
if it gets destroyed and unravels at the seams
a child attempt at dreams
when do we care
do we care when the child wakes up in fright
because the monsters it only saw at night
finally came in sight
how do they feel
when they discover their monsters are real
what happens to that child who always asked why
because the one closest to them lie
how do they attempt to dream?
What does a child know
when the person around them doesn't know the meaning of no
How do you help a child that feels worthless
And the people who did it to them is mirthless
What is an attempt to dream
Is it as easy as it seems
if it gets destroyed and unravels at the seams
What is an attempt to dream
how do you even try
when everyone around you want you to die
How do you survive when you are so hated
And every attempt to change seem so jaded
can you forgive yourself for that mistake
How can you when God and everyone else chose to forsake
how do they attempt to dream?
When your life was lost
and someones life was the cost
How can you live with blood on your hands
how can you see hope when it lands
when your guilt makes you blind
and you miss anything that's kind
The hatefulness and the angry glares was what they didn't need
because punishing themselves forever is the choice they decided to lead
What is an attempt to dream
Is it as easy as it seems
if it gets destroyed and unravels at the seams

i really enjoyed this!
it is a unique topic and you put a new perspective on it. I love how you rhyme, because as you could see from reading my poems i enjoy rhyming too.
I like how it doesnt seem forced, it was just good.
The last line is my favorite.
great job, keep writing!
ah you weren't kidding when u said our writing styles are similar.
I love this although some of the rhymes didn't flow well like worthless with mirthless. But keep it up :P
