A Final End to Dreams and Innocence

I used to have dreams
I used to live in innocence
these days
no more dreams
not a drop of innocence
they have been flayed away
if this happens to you
you find yourself approaching oppressing obscurity
where you
reach out to the cyber world
where it's easy
to relate in a cyber-posturing way
artificial to say the least
I bare my heart to the world
taking in the cyber-words like a mighty hug
still, I live in my apprehensive
world here enclosed in
The Hovel
my heart still beats
dreams and innocence destroyed
are my cold comfort

Life really has changed, so have people, they have opened their eyes to the world around them although many know more than they should. As life progresses people change, not always for the good or for the better, but, it does make them who they are and their choices will depict who they will be. My favourite line is "no more dreams", the fact that something so natural and ordinary can be taken away is devastating but it can inspire people to turn their dreams in reality while they still have the chance. I really enjoyed reading and interpreting this, you truly have done a great job :)

What a great review on my poem, Heather, thank you so much. A profound statement is "As life progresses people change, not always for the good or for the better, but, it does make them who they are." I love that. you are not just the run of mill reviewer. Thanks again.

A cold world in so many destructive ways with no love and compassion. That is why so many people find their purpose in the cyber world. Excellent...:).............

So many layers in this one. Reaching out to the cyber world for comfort. Realizing we are grounded in this world. Very touching. Very real. Very today.
