Dreaming

peto

I realise 

I fantasise 

Tap dancing in the rain 

On pointed stars 

With chocolate bars 

Replacing crack cocaine 

No trippy stones 

Still jumping bones 

Swinging from chandeliers 

Filling up holes 

Picked in my goals 

By overwhelming fears 

Try taking care 

Of those who dare

To differ from the norm

With healing hands 

Bring troubled lands 

Some shelter from the storm 

Embrace the sun 

See all as one 

And silence every scream 

I'll try my best 

Like all the rest 

I'm living in a dream

                Your poem beautifully contrasts fantasy with reality and explores themes of escapism and unity. The imagery is vivid, and the call for empathy and compassion is powerful. Great work!
