You wear hope like yesterday’s fashions
And the fads that come to pass
With the arrival of tomorrow
Fighting against your static possessions
And embellishing all these things that you call love
These misgivings you deem tragic
An affront to the person you see yourself as
In your fun-house mirror life
Straightening the jagged edges
That you’ve worked so hard to hide
Pearl white shoes don your feet
Resisting the mud slung up
By the dance of avoidance
On your imaginary yellow-brick road
Your path to the salvation of normalcy
And with the simplicity of a click of your heels
Everything will be alright again

Thats beautiful.
I can feel the place your head was at when you wrote this.
Thats beautiful.
I can feel the place your head was at when you wrote this.
Buoying these sheets
Living on the wind
I raise my chin
And find these feats
Crisp white flowing waves
Like servants and slaves
Bowing to grant a favor
To their only enslaver
Knowing what is to come
On the wind’s next run

Living life isn't about holding a good hand.
It is about playing a poor hand well.

I can dig that.
I also like this... but why can't I just cheat?
It's also about getting a glimpse at other hands, counting cards and dodging loan sharks...

I like the Wizard of Oz feel to it.
I wonder what it would be like to live a day in your head.
"And with the simplicity of a click of your heels

That line in particular left a sarcastic taste in my mouth, whether you meant it that way or not. If only it was that easy. click your heels, close your eyes, and all will be well...
but if it was that easy, life would be boring..
Im rambling. I liked your poem. its new..different than others Ive read.
