Daydream Fairytale
I found a bean in my room
Hope that means I'll be leaving soon
If I plant it in my carpet
And put an X to mark it
Maybe if I sow
Maybe it will grow
And have a great stock
And for a moment I'll just stand and gawk
Maybe it will grow into the sky
Past where the birds fly
Up past the clouds
Where humans are not allowed
Then like my old friend Jack
I'll pack me a sack
Then I'll start my climb
Up that big sturdy vine
At the top I wonder what I'll find
Will it be peace of mind
Will my giants all be slayed
Will I finally be unafraid
I want to be above the grind
And all of mankind
So I planted my bean and watered it well
You can see it's starting to grow and swell
The roots start to snake
Making my floor quake
But it didn't grow up, but sideways instead
I looked at it with dread
Even my daydreams
Are not as they seem
But nightmares ensues
My lovely dark muse
