Reality eluded me
like green lights saying go
Life passed against the tide
Is this me? Who am I?
Unable to suppress inner dreams
Unable to ignore social castigation
What was it I left behind
when hell gave up the dead and the damned
tearing me blissfully between perfection and incompletion
I still feel that way

Hmmm... Yes... Allusions to The Great Gatsby. Wonderful book. Kudo points to the person who knows why I wrote this.

Very thought provoking indeed. Made me read twice and take a deeper look. A greatly expressed piece, laced with depth and emotion. Thanks so much for sharing and good luck in my contest... x Love and light, Butterfly.

Yes sometimes we stay torn and blissful, personally I like it that way. Life isn't boring then. This is a great write, don't know if I deserve "kudo" points but it held my interest and I read it 2 times. Love the beginning and the ending and the cream filling isn't bad either...kind of like an oreo cookie, it's all good. Best of luck...
