Childhood Ambitions

Come and fly with fears.
Dreams broken never die
While challenges lay bare.

Fighting will never settle the score
And your lineage will never swear, but by their life.

Immaculate beginnings of your
History clearly peters out
To make way for a prosperous future.

Body skillfully dreams
Of childhood ambitions.
Suffering in silence,
Burning in a foreign heat.

You are dealing with a flashing dream.
A memory damaged by the present.
A theory to make the moment right.

I make due with
All that lays before me,
But can believe in the hope to salvage
A sugar sweet design,
A softer piece of mind.

That you want this memory to please
Says much of who you are.
But who are we
That we crave a new beginning
Sculpted from the same material as the past?

That doubt you have in mind
Stitches wounds in time
To the point that you cannot grasp
The power of memory.
Yet deep down you can feel the material.

Finished loving knowledge.
Famished with folding 
Bread and blind ambition.

Growing and watching right
Up until you find a fault.
The crack in your idealized past.
You find from time to time where you went wrong.

Played the way through
As the hero in the tale.
The villain never existed.

Here you reign
Then you cower
To the unrelenting power
Of a replayed vision
The way it always occurred.

As in puddles
You are oil
Misshapen, but efficient.

We are afflicted while we take a bath in memory.
Washing with the walking pace,
The sour taste of love and grace.
