Courage to caper
In void of pleasure,
Offspring of direness lived, now
For once seeks freedom.
The molten mirror,
Was turning a dream desire
in reality.
The land of candies,
and of furry magic mats,
of fortune, and life.
The childhood revived
when zeal met maturity
trapped in his body.
Lion within giggled,
again did the morbid heart,
Optimism rejoiced.
In a life of sorrow
Did a ray of light shone,
inviting fancy.
Guffaw ring is hope
Like the shaking of fresh leaves,
Not like timber creaks.
A problem arose.
There didn't exist an exit,
A ceaseless cycle.
Ah, a risk of choice,
of serenity or noise
and heartbeat racing.
A silent moment
Brought vast realisation
of desire to live
And a step forward
With vivid vision and dread
Showered immense joy.
Fairies smiled and danced
For a child some twelve in age
Let the journey start.
