So many things I don't understand
They seem so distant, yet so close at hand
Burning questions and unquenchable desires
Sear up inside of me, an undying fire
The world turns
My heart yearns
And yet, to no avail
These words whisper blackmail
Cunning overtones of moral deceit
These feelings transmute punishing defeat
Grudges of hate get me no where
Only the obvious realizations of life not being fair
In times of loss, I seek solitude
For their blindness only makes me more volatile
Frequently, I question whether this real
But time and again, it is confirmed; regardless of how I feel
I wish I was this, I wish I was that
Like a rude awakening, it sucks to face the facts
I wish I was here, I wish I was there
I fight constantly with myself for why I give a care
"Once upon a time and a long time ago..."
I recite the fairy tales in my head that we all know
The Prince Charming I always believed to be me
But the glass slipper doesn't fit and I realize that it was not meant to be
"As the old saying goes..."
This reality thing really blows
"And they lived happily ever after..."
In this wonderful tale of disaster
And here it is again:

This really is an amazing piece that i've got to say, touches me. I'm going over the finalists for her to judge this contest. She's very busy. However i'm not too happy with the rudeness...You've apologized and i suppose i'll let it slide.
Thank you for your entry and good luck. -
VERY well written and this stirred up my emotions because I can definetely relate to the feelings expressed...my apologies for taking time to judge, I have diploma exams right now so I had to focus.
I very much like the intensity of this peice and the truth that it speaks...well done!

strange!!!!!!!
I thought this was a superbly written write with so much emotion flowing from each word ... I cannot highlight one specific section that I enjoyed moreso than the others because it was all amazing - well done!!!!!!!

Very nicely done... kind of light for you (LOL) but filled with the sad disappointment we all feel and very relateable... Perfect take on the prompt...
