The Bad Dream Poet

It was written following a bad dream. In the end i had to tell all those in my life the shameful news. I was alone and broken.So this is the real story of me (with reference to the dream of course).

 

Round belly, barely,

Dreams crushed, very,

Another opportunity to be better,

Affirming, confirming,

New troubles, generations ago,

New daughter, generations past,

She grew colder, got a bit older,

She was known as fast,

New girl, generations ago,

She was daughter, not yet

mother, 

known,

As...

Fast,

She sang as beautiful as she was,

Thought love was...

Thought she could love people,

Truly,

That they’d love her,

New girl, new mother,

1992 was a good year,

brand new daughter,

with problems of generations past behind her,

Disgusted and,

Amazed was her family,

That she,

Could not conform,

She knew conforming,

was confirming,

She rolled in her failures,

Aching bones,

Learned to stand,

Remembering she knew this in ‘92,

That life moves fast,

People grow,

Change,

Personalities, they’re everywhere,

Weighed down by pain,

The child is who she sees,

The latest image she meets,

The taller, deeper hurt,

Cold hearts,

Searching for a warmer one,

One that will give unaffected,

She knew,

That there were things in her,

Inherent,

apparent to cold hearts,

She covers up,

In christianity, skill,

She,

Covers up,

The child underneath,

You’d think isn’t too far away...

She’s a tall, brown, pillar,

Of change,

In a family she was always meant to change,

Pained people tired of lying faces with

Eyes that betray them,

Beautiful people underneath tradition,

She’s one of them,

She was born as they were,

But she escaped,

She ran from fear, & misunderstanding,

Into the arms of Christ!

...Right?

[Tamara (The Coy & Clear Poet)]

Yeah...looks like it.

[John F Carver]

That's good. right?

[Tamara (The Coy & Clear Poet)]

Absolutely I just hadn't realized! :)
Sadly it was alot more about me than Christ. I'm a new christian is my excuse lol.

[John F Carver]

Excuse? No excuse needed. You did the right thing as far as I am concerned. I thought, 'what a good idea,' and I thank you for sharing your true self. Online can seem unfriendly territory for Christians sometimes. Hey, it's new. I'm 62 years old and all my life the church always condemns what's new for a while anyway. Don't panic, being on line is like going to hell. Hang in there sister.

Hahaa! Thanks a lot for the encouragement!

[Tamara (The Coy & Clear Poet)]

Wow! I am really flattered. I didn't know how it would go over with the christian content.
