Dopey

Dopey

A Poem by Kevin Kappler
"

Earning knowledge in mental and heart strength. Finding your inner self. Breaking out of a rut when you think you are small and weak.

"
Dopey

Hours of intense day dreaming

Wishes for the right ways

In which I can thrive and truly live

Each and every day.

I balance my walk upon the circumstantial

Tight rope

The strength in my feet is weakening

I feel small and dumb like Dopey.

He is the smallest of the dwarves

Treated like his meaning and thoughts are irrelevant

Until he booms out in a clearer voice

“What makes you better than I? We all bleed…we all feel…”

Walking away, with what belongings he holds dear…

This once bullied dwarf walks forwards

Onwards to a future

Rid of those who control him with fear.

A brighter sun shines

Upon Dopey’s now freer and more independent soul..

He can be his own man

Free from his once captive role.
