Dreams

savethebees

You thought once that you might conquer the world. You saw success and power and you desired it. You believed you were worthy. As you grew, your dreams shrunk until they were too small to be noticed, trampled by the busyness of the ‘real world’. Crushed by the meaningless routines that you were forced to believe were important. Destroyed by the people who told you that you weren’t good enough.

Part of you longs for the dreams you once had, fills you with bitterness at society’s imperfections. But your anger drifts away like the morning tide and you are once again filled with the anxiety of the present.

  • ANGELA & BRIAN

    GOOD EVENING FRIEND ~ Welcome to MPS ! Thanks for your first poem which is well expressed on an interesting Subject that affects us all ! Our dreams & aspirations ~ compared with the mediocracy and attitude of the real World ! As we go through each Phase of Life ~ the stage gets bigger and we get cut down to (our true ?) size. In the necessary route from Junior School to High School to University (or College) to the World of Work & becomming *Semi-detached Suburban Mister JONES* ~ Our Dreams do shrink ~ We are crushed by meaningless routines & We are destroyed by Poeple who put us down.
    Sometimes we relive our Dreams ~ when we dream ~ BUT Morning comes and once again we are emersed in the Reality & Anxiety of the Present ! If all else fails we can take refuge in the simple Eternal Things ~ Like Love ~ Life ~ Family ~ Friends and Local Clubs & Societies and *Make the Real World go away* AMEN We all have our own ways of coping ! I (BRIAN) am 35 and teach in an FE / HE College ! I share this site with my Fiancee who is (31) and a Physiotherapist !

    Yours in Poetry BRIAN & ANGELA !
