Aleta Pope Poet I do not know?

Awakened

                   Awakened

                  The day I awakened life was no longer  
                   free-flowing , natural or beautiful.
                   Spontaneity, love and happiness gone.
                   Looking forward into the future or 
                   looking back in the past , doesn't belong
                   In the present. Now that I've awakened
                   and learned the truth after a lifetime of 
                   being fed all of the lies , life is no longer
                   free-flowing , natural or beautiful anymore
                   because I have awakened now I realize.

Daniel Henry Rodgers December 19, 2023 at 4:20 AM Aleta, your poem captures the stark duality of newfound awareness, where beauty is traded for truth. Yet, in its starkness, a raw authenticity compels us to confront the complexities of seeing through the veil. It is a powerful piece that lingers long after the final line. - Blessings, Daniel
