By Viviana Nadal-Villano, Age 13
Paradise in your mind
Your perfect world
A place where light spins and hope dances
Free.
But sometimes a touch of reality dims that place
It becomes repressed
Forgotten
A fictitious dream that distracts
Where has the hope gone?
Why does fate seem to wield its blade with such merciless precision?
When you know what they know and
see what they see
You understand that there is a land
Where the stars refuse to shine and shadows lurk
The hopes and wishes drift away lost to the world
Many are bound by chains they cannot throw
They are forced away from Utopia’s glow.
In the labyrinth of fate
they wander alone
But we can support
We can help
We can make it so everyone can aspire and dream
Because we all need to have that perfect place
No matter how outlandish or funky
Utopia is our sweet home of mind
Embrace your Utopia
Make it happen
Never stop believing
