~ To Wait a Lifetime

There in neat thought patterns

Driven by society

Not listening

To your true heart

Feelings ignored from the start,

Where you are caught up in?

A web of self lies?

Knowing what you really want,

But  enforced priorities howl

As hungry wolves, in the center

Of your soul to growl…

Your emotional sensitive side

Just being run over by

The metal of the drive

Then, to wait a lifetime

For that train to come

Makes us terribly mortal

 

~ Elisa Laura

There is a sense of viciousness over excessive social obligations thrown on our shoulders. No wonder we are disoriented. How ludicrous it is that we may have had or still have prodigal experiences! We become interminable slaves to what others want. Your verse helps me to realize this pitiable fact. Personally, when i am to listen to someone else's pressing advice over what i should do with my life, there do seem to be 'howling of hungry wolves in the center of my soul to growl'. I become restless and perturbed as what the verse depicts. I'd also like to point out that the alliterative effect on reading it is pleasing to the ears.

Aaah Reeti, dear, thank you so much for this utterly beautiful review, so shooting, to the core!!!!! :)

When we find our true self, we first ask why not sooner.
But it is because we were not ready, we will never see what we are not ready for. But you girl, you are ready. Are you ready for what the Universe has for you? She has the world you have been waiting for all your life. There is a New Way coming watch for it, it is the vaccine for what this poem is about. A New Way, a New Day, where we are set free and the hungry wolves are put at bay. Most don't even know what they want, I am still working on that. But I know I want to completely understand myself and truly see myself. But I do have to be responsible and provide for my loved ones, so I have to work the job, and do the things we have to do in this world. But it is learning how to love ourselves, and accepting ourselves that we are working to better ourselves and bring a better world. You can do all that you need to do, and still exist in this current world until the new one has come where all will change and we will truly live as we were meant too.

Thank you for your beautiful and insightful review!! - Elisa

This speaks of all those thoughts we spend trying to work out who is really us and living our true lives, when everything around us seems determined to take us away from that path and keep us busy with petty things to keep those thoughts of freedom at bay. The title is perfect, because no matter who we are, we never truly understand this game of life, forever learning. Wonderful thoughts as ever Elisa

Thank you very much my friend, for the great review x

Welcome tulip :-)

It's easy not to hear your true self in a world that is constantly loud and moving. To stop and listen instead of following everyone else takes courage.
Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking poem with us Elisa.

Thank you very much m'dear, for your thoughts, and wisdom.
- Elisa (soon be back for you)...

So much unhappiness comes from us not being true to ourselves and our dreams. Society is rigid and there is an idea that there are only a few acceptable paths. The angst we feel is because we are incomplete. As always, your poem was written with beauty and thought.

I'm so grateful to have you here lady! thank you very much, I hope to be back after weekends (busy busy)... to review your beautiful words. Till soon x

[Androglossia]

It is always hard to be somebody you're not and to do things you don't love only to impress the people around you. Life is a one-way ticket and wasted time is irreversible. This is so full of meaning and well thought-out, my dearest:)

Heya, lovely, yes, that makes sense... I was watching a documentary this eve about children in the age of 15-20 who did dissociate from there real feelings... it's a social problem here... it made me think, and write this... thank you so much for your support, and comment. Love to you xx I'll be soon back, after weekend xxx

[Androglossia]

You're very welcome, dear:) I think it has become worldwide problem and yes enjoy your weekend. Have fun!

Yes, that for sure, pity enough... thank you so much again... I hope you can have a good one too, dear, thinking always of you! :) we talk soon ok! x
