I see giants above me, talking with words I don’t understand

I see moving colors on a screen, coupled with the smell of a dusty room

I see figures sitting across a table, encouraging me to eat 

I see faces in houses, and characters jumping on buildings

I see words on a page as I feel the gears turning in my head 

I see laughter and joy around me, followed by the desire to be older

I see activities I want to be a part of one day, wishing that day was today

I see those who I want to be like

I see those with strength and height that I just can’t match

I see those like me and call them friends

I see things I don’t understand and ask questions

I see things I definitely do understand and still ask questions 

I see the good in people through glasses tinted with innocence

I see the bad in people and block it out, saving it as a treat for my older self to understand

I see love and care right in front of me

I see smiles hanging over me like treetops

I see lips mouth words as I fail to stay awake

I see a calm darkness wash over me, sleep carrying me away to some distant land
