in stars that stare at my lonely sleeping body through a window i am having a realization in dreams. the real world around me has been distorted by the pressure to be someone else and I am failing but so be it. I wasn't supposed to succeed. "I want to heal, I want to feel, like I'm close to something real" |

"I wasn't supposed to succeed" Sorry but I do not agree with you dear dear friend. You may not be getting "there" as fast as you want but you are definitely not at a stand still. You shall succeed, but the success might just be a bit different than you had originally planned. always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same |

If we transformed into someone else ... we wouldn't be ourselves. Be the best that you can be - that's the answer. Well done. hugs, Chris Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. |
