Justice Take a Step Forward and Don T Look Back

Take a Step Forward and Don't Look Back Drama of lover’s fears and tears. I place my hands up to my ears, Roll my eyes, and walk away, Oh, why does it have to be this way? Why can't things ever change for us? ~ I take a deep breath And sneak out until the air clears. Into the comfort of my room And close the door Where I find tranquility And serenity of silence. I lay on my bed with a good book And open the door Entering a fantasy world of Medieval castles with Prince and Princess Courtly manners and courtly love, Knights with their codes of chivalry. Fire breathing dragons and magic fairies, Greek & Roman gods and goddesses. ~ You will never experience All that is wonderful If you keep focusing On the bad experience That’s behind you. ~ Where is the justice? ~ Take a step forward, Forget the evil of the past. Lay it all on a pyre And put it a flame And watch it all go up in flames. Just walk away And don't Look back. 8/25/2015

This is wonderful!! I can see why Casarah chose this for the top spot. I love your description of opening the door/book, since I am prone to losing myself in a good book when I need an escape. And the last 5 lines say it all. Great job!

Eve my dear, I don't usually answer poems that have been entered in a contest, but I couldn't resist this one and I can relate to it, I cannot stand people arguing so I just casually walk out the door until it is all over, this in my mind is very well written, good luck in the contest,,,Take care.............Vera.
