Realistic or Not

The pitfalls of maturing into a woman with crushes from a child crushes and daydreams

Some times I wish
I was the girl
Who could fall for a guy
Not caring about what happened next
That girl has been burned
Now if her heart starts to fall
From intrigue to a crush
Her brain snaps her back to attention saying,
"Your daydream is not realistic"
There is great joy in the imagination of a daydream
It can lead to heart break
A young daydream
could start a wildfire
But hurt and rejection
Can seal the brain
From lacking heart dreams
It's still is fun
When there is some one
That inspires a crush
While the crush turns into a daydream
Even if it is realistic or not

Well, I can't say I exactly relate to being a woman (lol), but I definitely know what it's like to daydream unrealistically. I like some of the words you use to describe what it feels like... being crushed, hurt and rejection. However, I'm not sure if I'm totally persuaded by the story. When we're first introduced to this girl, she talks about how she wishes she could be the girl that could fall for a guy, but after the fifth line I feel like that part of the story never builds or sees its completion. Thanks for sharing.

Rating: 8/10.

The poem about her processing. It does not always follow a line of story because the story is still building in her.

The fact that the idea is unrealistic is kinda plain to see, more or less like why keep daydreaming on what is not real? But the emotions felt are still as real as the real thing. Nice read.

Expectations rarely ever pan out, even the daily ones. Nice verse.

Can't control the emotion of love. Can get us at any second. I understand the poem. Like the old song. "Should I stay or should I go." Love does test us. Realistic or not. Love is the twisted part of us we must hold on to. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry. Always good to read your words Liz.
