when I was a kid,
I dreamt about the hidden
forest of poets that's why
I wanted to be like them.

they were happy with
all those poetic words they utter,
they were happy with
all those hidden words they plant,
they were happy with
all those scribbles they make,
that's why I wanted to be like them-
I wanted to be happy.

but no one knows that right after they
open their eyes from their deep
dreams in the forest of poets,
they forgot how to be happy again,

in that moment, I realized that being
caged in your own world is better
than being caged in the world of
reality which is a nightmare.
