Sleep Inspired

Everyday brings struggle, strife, pain
a smile disguises the war inside my brain
a war that seems to cease fire
once I lay my head, I hear the choir
of promising dreams and sweet desires
the freedom that is raped in reality
is alive and undisturbed in my sleep
freedom that knows no frown which is a man made reaction towards
a society that tries to keep us down, nah...
My dreams can't be touched, can't be stolen
the word "stolen" was meant for material objects, possessions
but my dreams it can never affect
My guaranteed getaway happens when I'm motionless
But once day breaks and the light warms my eyes
the first bullet is heard and I hear nothing but lies
Reality once again has the spotlight
and I'm forced to make sure it doesn't lose it's shine
Moments define it's presence while my heart, soul, dreams
define Life's essence....

Chastity, I LOOOVE this poem. The beginning really catches me "Everyday brings struggle, strife, pain
a smile disguises the war inside my brain" Its brilliant and original. I love the fact that I can definitely relate to this part and other parts of the poem! Every line of this flow seamlessly into the next and the end of this poem is gorgeous "Moments define it's presence while my heart, soul, dreams
define Life's essence...." Writing like this is definitely inspirational and makes me want to write more myself. Outstanding work :)
