i want to draw pictures
but i don’t have the tools
no crayons, no colour,
no sun in the corner
i want to draw pictures
of a sky that’s blue,
where it can never rain
the world shines in bright hue
a happy family beneath all that
holding hands like those accordion crafts
with drawn on smiles that won’t crack.
i want a happy family
but i don’t have the tools
to make an accordion craft
now, aren’t i the fool
i want a happy family
where the sun shines in the corner
where the sky is blue
where the world shines in a beautiful hue
i am no artist.
Please give a detailed explanation about the meaning and main idea of this poem.:
This poem is about a longing for a perfect family, not one that is fake. Not a family that puts on a facade around other people just so they ca appear as the ideal family. It’s about clinging to the false hope that one day your family will be as beautiful and amazing as those you see on the tv shows, where the mom and dad smily at each other, where the whole family sits at the dinner table. It is about how you will possible never achieve that
