*You cannot hide yourself behind a fairytale forever*
You want to read little pristine pretty posies
not get involved betwixt & ignore the thorns of life
whatcha gonna do when your scratch becomes infected
hiding in the bushes of denial will get you hives
of the contradicting type, bucking like a bronco
amidst the flowery storm clouds of refusal
riding through wild fields of four leaf clovers
on unicorns wings of phantasmal puff'd perfectly pink skies
pseudo fairy tales conjured up in the mind
never to cross the median line of reality's mock deception
swallow the chimerical pill of inauthentic utopia
just be sure your mythical allegory never plays havoc
in your secret garden of rainbow streaming sublimity,
the fall is greater from the zenith of repudiation
Ignoring the thorns only gets you tangled up in them more, and living in pseudo-fairy tales makes you miss the bliss - and wisdom - of reality. Outstanding piece, Frieda.
Denial is the perfect anesthesia. Well, it won't be long before life catches up with them. Meanwhile, you have all my admiration for penning such wonderful poetry! It hits at the right spots, yet delivers the punch artistically and beautifully. Thanks for sharing Frieda! You have another winner!
