Tell me, Greg, do flowers grow in your perfect little world? Do they grow so full and vibrant that they survive in the snow? Is there any reality in your world of bliss? And your children... are you capable to miss? You don't in real life, so do you in your world? Tell me, Greg... what color is your sky today? Is it pink? Maybe green. How about blue? Do people exist in your world? Anybody but you? In your world... Iceburgs melt the fire as music screams out loud. The baby feeds the parents as the sunshine hides a cloud. The rain shines down so warmly, as the snowflakes spiral up. I got out the orange juice, now you can pour the cup. The children run in circles on your neopathic lawn, as angels fall and death becomes the virgins evil spawn. Where has you religion gone? Where are all your beliefs? The world is upsidedown and flat and babies become theives. The innocence is squandered, and the purity is gone. Death is heaven, life is hell and evil is your pawn. Chastity is fantasy and love is all a dream, and since I cannot love or fight, I sing until you scream. The warriors all run away while cowards all rush in, as politicians shut their mouths, and mimes scream, "Where ya been?" Giant midgets crushing you, and circles that are squares. Fat is thin, tall is short, and ties are worn in pairs. Male and female, boy or girl it doesn't matter now. Lost in dust and lacking trust the sheep all sheer the cows. Is this your world, Greg? Is it a living hell? Where the healthy sleep the sick go out and opposites repel? Get real, Greg. This world is just your fantasy. It is insufficient for you, myself, and your family. Live the life you were given, give Jesus a chance. Let him change you, erase your perfect world, and just give up this hellish chase. Lay down prostrate, and simply praise the name of the Lord, Most High. Ask Him to find it in His heart to coax me to forgive you. You'll need a miracle, no doubt, but hey... it could happen. Especially in your perfect little world. She who used to consider herself your daughter... Chrissy Never give your heart away, it will always come back broken. ~Lil OnE~ |

Whoa Alice and I didn't understand it either but at least we know how deep the rabbit hole goes now, it goes to evermore. Powerful poem. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

I think I kinda did understand this... I think you disowned your father because you had serious communication problems, like he's living in a totally different world... I hope I understood correctly, if so, it's really a shame... families should stick together no matter what. I too ofthen don't get along with my dad but it's important to know where to draw the line. Very interesting imagery and the opposites you came up with. Thanks for sharing, take care! |

I think that I understand...his world and thoughts are not your world and thoughts and for some reason you can not seem to meet in the middle or undersand one another, nor is he willing to try in your eyes... I think it is a wonderful poem, even if my inturpritaion(sp) is not right... Until...

Ok... LM was the closest when saying that there were serious communication problems. My father thinks he knows me. He is a manipulative, mind playing, control freak. It's a horrible thing to say, but if at this exact moment, he died, I wouldn't shed a single tear. He has betrayed any trust I've ever put in him, and he has blamed things on me which could NEVER be my fault, and the list goes on and on. My 'father' (or lackthereof) is not a part of my life. That's the way I want it to be. *he didn't even send me a card for my birthday* no card, no phone call, nothing. He has disowned me as much as I have disowned him. Thank you for the compliments, though.  Never give your heart away, it will always come back broken. ~Lil OnE~ |

When I was much younger and still living at home my dad was a control freak...he even checked my odometer when I drove to college to see if I drove extra miles to mess around...he did every thing he could to discourage me from having girlfriends...he made my life miserable...we fought a few times...finally I decided I would join the army to get away from him..I went wild when I got on my own...just to get back at him..I was stationed in Germany for three years and never visited my family...my dad died just six months before I was released from the Army..I flew back for his funeral..then back to Germany for six more months...I have always regreted my actions that were driven by anger and revenge...I will always wish I had made up with my dad...hoping you can make up with your dad..but then...you do what is right for you...James |

That is so sad. I'm sorry to hear that  My father and I will probably never make up, being that I'm not welcome in his house, so he obviously doesn't want anything I have to offer. I have forgiven him, but the hurt is still there. ((HUGS)) Never give your heart away, it will always come back broken. ~Lil OnE~ |
