Reality went missing!
An innocent dream reflecting the plight of school-going kids during this pandemic.
A few months back, I had a dream
My mouth was full of chocolate cream
Got my room done in “Captain America” theme.
Saw myself delivering the pre-game speech
As a captain of my school soccer team.
Ah! Such a dream.
And then, that deadly scream!
Straight from the kitchen.
“Wake up! You dream-bee”
My mom was yelling at me for getting late for school again.
The next moment, I was pooping and brushing my teeth.
Wondering where to look for that chocolate cream
In the pot or in my mouth!
It was such a beautiful dream.
But, nowadays my dream has become my new reality.
And my reality has become a dream.
Of course, minus the chocolate cream and the fancy Captain America Theme.
I miss going to school.
I miss my friends and teachers. I miss the lunchtime.
I wish everything gets back to normal soon.
Now I know, some dreams are better left as dreams.
