It was all a dream

keeping pushing thats what the doctors say, to the girl that got pregnant the opposite of late, what a claim to make, a baby at such a tender age, feeling depressed like sanity and god gave up on her, like life just said fuck it and let this man fuck her, like no one gave a damn, like her luck left the door and ran, cos thats what her man did, candid moment as he left her stranded, on the door step shinning against the light, just as the baby opened her eyes, he said bye, just as the baby opened her eyes, the door shuts, tears run down the woman's eyes, trying to hide, trying to find, trying to make a life with no education but she knows she has to fight against... everything life has to bring, trying to find love so she gets down on her knees, lifts her head above, praying to god please, sends him her please's, help me's, god dammit's, so she think's about the what if's, what if i didn't, what if i, what if i, but the truth is only in her eyes, pain she disguises with a shaky smile, her daughter's snore sends her strength to move, but as the baby sleeps she sits and stares at the wall in room, she gets off the bed, sits in the corner of the room, places her hands together, bless, knees to her chest, talks to herself 'when will i finally get to rest', this is my life's test, the walls in the room cave in, deep breaths, hard to breathe, stiff neck, lights dim, she wakes from a dream only to be woken by a shout 'mommy come swim', sunlight blinds her for a bit, she wakes and knocks the pina colada shake, splashes of warm water strike her face, her daughter's smile is brighter than the sun rays, just a dream, just a dream,

I like this one a lot. It is kind of like looking at a picture or watching a clip of a someone's life. It tells a story and sets a scene really well. It also speaks of how decisions can change a person and haunt them, but be positive as well, in the long run.

PS. Glad I can inspire. That makes perfect sense about being engaged in the written words. Your responses inspire me. As far as the design goes, seriously just randomly went through samples of background images offered (under the template design feature) and found one that worked. Then had fun experimenting with fonts to get the right feel :)

Yea I went through the whole template designs, none of them I felt represented me. I am still on the fence on the one I have right now. I duno, I still have plans on changing it in the future.

It is funny you found old soul and it was all a dream. You really have to dig into the archive and find them. Lol but I am glad you did, those were my favs too.
