I Dream

~ I DREAM a DREAM ~

I dream a dream so placid~~
**
A commitment that burns every morning brink
I feel the pain as I slip into my shoes of confident
Every day I wonder how much more can I take?
I want to fall right back to sleep, knowing I'm still in deep
Another day facing the sun, holding onto feelings overdone
I taste the acid, I feel the corrosive results
A reaction eating my heart away with fault
My expressions are dissolving as I carry a 100 pound bag of salt.


I dream a dream of addiction~~
**
By morning dawn I gain control of my world
Watch, as my eagle eye's hide under my new disguise
My withdrawals ride high into the sky
I'm under an ultimate dependent narcotic feel
My drugs of the low - self image sits under garbage waste
Reacting with chills, vengeance- my only pill
Acting on my addiction, I deprive my insecurities with restriction
Power in every hit, a strong substance I withhold every dope hour


I dream a dream of adultery~~
**
Every day the sun rises, I share a cup of coffee for three
Fighting the feeling that flows towards another man
My head is sweating, my emotions are distracting and upsetting
This river boat got wet, the day you introduced me to the Internet
In my subconscious mind you are here and then you disappear
My sexual desires I self-sabotage when you become him
My love that's the only way my body will let you in
A mess brought by your cheating days
Now the interest has gone away
Betrayed by you, neglecting me
Don't ever trust, or believe what you see.

These poetic thoughts are relate-able. . You describe your feelings so eloquently and creatively. I think this is the reason I admire your work so much. Your words are filled with passion and pain . Always, Laura

Self revealing! Dreams are the projection of our fear, fantasy and unfulfilled wishes. What's true here? I like it.

This is really excellent. The acid of resentment that burns within someone who has feelings of self pity for one reason or another and blaming all one's problems on someone else rather than placing them where they belong. Good job here, God Bless, JB

Sorry Ms. Destroyer I didn't know which is which! In all of my candor, I could have made the switch. I knew the title was suspicious, and your writing is to such a degree, that I could only assume and hope that it wil not be my doom for you are the DESTORYERX no matter what the sex.. that I wil not be next, I have never seen any woman express herself quite that! Your frind in the pen/to the end! Gary Fields and to think..I almos hit on you in one of my comments'. with much love all over,
