I'm Half a Poem Old

As the darkness
Chased whatever
Seemed to shine.
I took a refuge
In whatever that
Would glow.

A child of desires.
Student of reveries.
A protege of 
Whatever hits the 
Roof of my mind.

I was born three 
Nights ago.
Two rains and 
Half a poem old. 

I'm learning to
Survive a game,
That's rigged in
Favour of adults,
Who have forgotten
To laugh.
