Can You Dream [revised] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Oh, what a misunderstanding, how did it come to this?
You should dream, anything, make visualisations that
make you feel good ignoring reality in which we live –
look away from everything that makes you feel bad &
unsuccessful, I do not want you to face reality? No!
Reality is a trampoline, touch briefly then bound

Into your dreams, leave facts of real life behind, let
this provide impetus and energy to reach a virtual
space where you create fantasies, changing reality
to suit your personal taste – don’t tell things as they
are, tell them as you wish it to be and live in your
own new reality - can you dream, will you try?
