Pipe Dream
Chasing a never could be.
Another pipe dream,
only speak if they speak to me.
Don't believe in fantasy!
Black, white, and grey,
take the color out of the day.
There's no excitement in the simple things.
Blind sight of the beauty you see in the trees and the seas.
It's just a tree.
Nothing more than the sea.
You are a child, so nieve.
Playing pretend,falling for the make believe.
Wasting time on creativity,
not on things with any relativity.
That'll never ever come to be!
Distracted by wonder and curiosity
Shut out anything that isn't something that you can touch and see.
Smoke in mirrors!
The magic is fake!
BAMBOOZLED
bamboozling me!
You are chasing a child's pipe dream.
Your best isn't even that good!
What gave you that idea?
Who lied and said you could?
Or was that something you conjured up on your own?
Wake the fuck up!
You are chasing a pipe dream!
Save yourself the disappointment.
This life is painted black white and grey,
as bright as your mind can color everything.
It is usless.
You are the only one that sees the beauty!
IT'S A TREE,just a tree,
the sea IS NOTHING MORE THAN THE SEA !
Move along, now,
there isn't anything here to see.
Keep your head tilted to the ground.
The proudest you are allowed to be.
Now, now,
stop throwing a fit.
Have that inner child pack it's shit!
Change into the adult you are supposed to be!
Santa is a lie for kids,
Stop being so nieve!
You keep chasing a child's pipe dream.
A tree is a tree.
The sea is the sea.
Black white and grey
Take the saturation down to nothing!

wow, I'm so glad I read this, amanda puggle, I've always been fascinated by the theme; 'bleeding out negativity' a few years ago I wrote a poem to myself bleeding out negativity on every possible scenario I could imagine, and honestly I couldn't stop writing, it really is a great exercise....your approach here has so much passion and moxie resonating in the tone, as if you are mocking all negative thoughts in front of you telling you to be more practical (yes I know it's impossible but I'll do it anyway) this is really a terrific creation on a theme that haunts a lot of artists, and people in general....I'm reading this one again, so much depth here....I hope all who read this will take it in like a glass of premium brandy, this is quality work, poet... and very important as well, enjoying....thanks for posting this
