Brenda Chiri Poet Rhyme

A Dream I Will Always Chase

When asked "Where is it your from?"
It caught me off guard, I stop to think
Of a beat up record whose song
When sung makes your heart sink

I have been a fool again I see
sad i don't belong anywhere
Thinking here I shouldn't be
doesn't matter if life is unfair

"Wow I haven't learned a thing"
Emotionless sharply I inhale
chest feels so tight it stings
again I am just an epic fail

To not stay long is that wrong
avoiding feelings I now feel
Now I have got to stay strong
The pain I must try to conceal

"Nowhere" I say avoiding your stare
"Never stayed long in any place!"
Stating truthful I couldnt dare
After a dream I'll not catch but
always chase

Quoth Theraven January 16, 2021 at 3:21 PM Brenda, A year later, and I must humbly agree with Eve. This poem amazes. Still searching for a place called home(?) Chasing dreams, there are worse things in life; many in fact. Have a nice day. -Richard

Eve Roper January 17, 2020 at 7:42 PM Nicely done, Brenda, your work always amazing. Brenda Chiri January 20, 2020 at 9:42 PM Eve thank you! I always smile when I get a warm comment from you!;)

Lin Lane January 5, 2020 at 9:06 AM Chasing a dream doesn't always bring us what we expected of it. It's like a fantasy that becomes reality, resulting in a nightmare. But that is the negative side, so I'll be positive and add...Chasing a dream, no matter what lies at its end is better then letting it fly away and then asking, "What if?" Brenda Chiri January 5, 2020 at 11:07 AM Wow Lin I like how you explained that! And yea your right I hate "what if's" lol thank you for stopping by and your great comment!;)
