Dream

God please
let it be a dream
I’m about to pinch my arm
please just wake me
reality’s too harsh
let it be a dream

I see smoke wherever I go
it’s bringing me down
my feathers got old
they’re worn and torn
I’m washed up
from my own inner battles
now the whole globe’s involved
my hope is in shambles
the cold is too strong
it blows my lit candles
God, let it be a dream
wake me up somewhere
somewhere I feel safe

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
