Attempt to Dream
What is an attempt to dream 
 Is it as easy as it seems 
  if it gets destroyed and unravels at the seams
  a child attempt at dreams
 when do we care 
 do we care when the child wakes up in fright
  because the monsters it only saw at night
 finally came in sight
 how do they feel
 when they discover their monsters are real
 what happens to that child who always asked why
 because the one closest to them lie
 how do they attempt to dream?
 What does a child know 
 when the person around them doesn't know the meaning of no 
  How do you help a child that feels worthless
 And the people who did it to them is mirthless
 What is an attempt to dream
 Is it as easy as it seems
 if it gets destroyed and unravels at the seams
 
 What is an attempt to dream 
 how do you even try
 when everyone around you want you to die
 How do you survive when you are so hated 
 And every attempt to change seem so jaded
  can you forgive yourself  for that mistake
  How can you when God and everyone else chose to forsake
 how do they attempt to dream?
 When your life was lost
 and someones life was the cost
 How can you live with blood on your hands
 how can you see hope when it lands
 when your guilt makes you blind
 and you miss anything that's kind
 The hatefulness and the  angry glares was what they didn't need
 because punishing themselves forever is the choice they decided to lead
 What is an attempt to dream
 Is it as easy as it seems
 if it gets destroyed and unravels at the seams

i really enjoyed this!
it is a unique topic and you put a new perspective on it. I love how you rhyme, because as you could see from reading my poems i enjoy rhyming too.
I like how it doesnt seem forced, it was just good.
The last line is my favorite.
great job, keep writing!
ah you weren't kidding when u said our writing styles are similar.
I love this although some of the rhymes didn't flow well like worthless with mirthless. But keep it up :P
