The prompt from Day 15
Conquer the World
.
Imagine if today was the day where you could do anything you wanted. All foods had no calories. You could speed without getting pulled over. You could climb onto a plane and fly without having a ticket. What would you do? What is your wildest dream for you one day? Tell us all about it!
=============
My take on the prompt:
Conquer the World :
==============
.
If dreams
transformed the world
for even a day
my wish would be to find
the authentic me
Stuffed and tampered out
at an early age
So much I could have given
the world
if not living a lie and pretending to be what others
thought I should be
.
If dreams could transform me for even a day
I’d know what made me the way I am
What my parents were like when they weren’t parents keeping secrets
Curiosity could have cost me more..
or would I find out
the freedom that the truth brings
.
If dreams could transform me for even a day
… a day would surely not be enough:
I’d see Paris, the Eiffel Tower,
be transported to Monet’s Gardens
Travel to the land of my grandparents
to England Germany and Norway
And keep on going to the end of my time on earth…
My curiosity that was stifled is now active and mournful.
Wasted Days, Nights and Years.
.
Sigh.
A contented sigh now that I’ve gotten that out of my mind.
If wishes were horses…
horses would have wings and fly me in style
