'In A Maze"

A Poem by Valentine
"

The thoughts of a young beautiful mentally disabled girl that I worked with years ago when I worked with the mentally challenged. They have hopes and thoughts too. Valentine

"
    "In A Maze"
She lives a life, of perfect bliss;
For there is naught she has missed.
A perfect love...came to stay...
Children and home, have come her way.

A warm smile...covers her face;
Of a frown...there... is never a trace.
A life so perfect... that it seems,
She has found, the American Dream.

Walking through life in a blissful daze,
Not knowing, she is lost in a maze;
Of broken minds and destroyed things;
For reality to her, is a lost mind's dream.

you point out the the ironic tragedy that is at once, both a thief and benefactor .. i am reminded of the Native American culture that honored those, in such a state, as spiritual gifts from the Creator. I am also reminded of the cruelty other's can heap on such beautiful people .. your poem celebrates their finding safe haven and family ..well done V!
