Imagination Fades Away
It’s a heart, it’s a train.
The shape of the clouds, she saw in her young eyes,
but now it fades away.
Looking up she sees nothing but plain white clouds.
Barbie and Ken.
Their sound used to be so lively to her,
but now the thought fades away.
Seeing them again, they’re just two plastic figurines.


Princes and princesses.
She would picture herself standing on a throne in her own castle,
but now that dream has faded away.
Worrying about what her “dream” college is.


Frankie and Billy.
Her best of friends who stuck by her that only she could see,
but now they fade away.
And now she surrounds herself with fake “best friends”.

My pice is about how as a high school student a lot of things tend to change over time. When you are younger you have the biigest imagination and hopes and dreams, but it doesnt always last and you have to grow up. The big idea is you can't escape change and everyone has to grow up some time and deal with the hardships of life.
