I gaze into the mirror..
All I see is me..
It doesn't really matter..
I am not who I appear to be..
My eyes to me look hollow..
My skin has lost its glow..
My face looks somehow sunken..
I have lost myself.. I know.
No one is happy with who I am..
They all want me to be..
as I seem...
To live up to all expectations..
To abolish selfish dreams..
They don't feel the guilt I have..
They don't know how hard I try..
They only see what they want..
They only see the lies..
And even when I scream the truth..
I AM DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN!!
It doesn't seem to be heard..
Failure has no friends..
If only I could change..
Like a mystic magic dream..
Keep everything inside of me...
To abolish selfish dreams..
Me

It doesn't seem to be heard..
Failure has no friends..
If only I could change..

How I all too, too much related to this, but I know there is a special Gift and Oh, I hope someday, you will see that Your Dreams may only seem selfish...yet, they hurt...if only they could be transformed through that mirror and YOU and 'They' COULD 'SEE'...
such an honest, haunting piece...
Oh, (((Erica))))
Many, many Thanks...

"Abolish Selfish Dreams" is the voice of many crying to be heard.
All the answers are within oneself... What matters is - dare to be fair, taking the doers' road - on the vehicle of courage driven by perseverance.
"Abolish Selfish Dreams" is a true expression of a soul that needs justice and love.
A mature poetical picture delivering a profound lesson of life.
Happy Healthy Day, Poet Erica Ivory.
