Stay Dreaming
once upon a time
there waS a boy wiTh a dreAm
who wanted to climb
to be leader of a team
once upon a time
there was a jollY young boy
who played at school playgrounDs
and had all of the toys
once upon a time
theRe was a mothEr and son
with A father who loved theM
yet afraId of how he had become
once upon a time
there was a man with a dream
to provide for his family
like they did before his teeNs
once upon a time
the man dropped the ball
no more trying or workinG
no more nothing at all
once upon a time
a man had a blank expression
no signs of happiness
just signs of depression
once upon a time
a man lost his inner self
never came on track again
became a fly on a shelf
once upon a time
there was the end of the team
all because of a man
who gave up on his dream
(SPELL OUT ALL CAPITAL LETTERS)
