I kept all my dreams
In a sugar jar.
It had a silver top,
With a tiny black lock.
I kept it in the dark,
And my dreams grew brighter.
I kept it in the light,
And my dreams grew like flowers.
And I never opened my jar.
But what I didn't know,
Was that my jar was airtight.
So my dreams never escaped.
Never took a breath.
Never lived.
And so my dreams died.
And because they never lived,
Neither did I.
