Dreaming Wake.

Dreaming Wake.

A Poem by Lydia
"

Something to think about.

"

I am living in a dream.

Everyone else is living in a nightmare.

It is like this earth is mine,

Like I can do what I please,

And still, everything turns out all right.

Reactions, from the press:

Citizens are outraged.  Outraged.

Ha.

Are you kidding me?

I am flipping the light switch

Over and over, time and again

With no reaction

With no blink of unnatural light,

With no spark of pure electricity.

I am living in a dream.

I am dreaming in a life

Well lived with its fair share

Of good intentions,

Stupid mistakes, and crazy lovers.

I am ecstatic,

Weighed down by nothing,

Flying free through love and life

And making it through in one peace*.

Author's Note

Lydia
I guess the intentional misspelling is to make you think about it, so, think about it?
