Rainbow Dreams
She falls asleep
to clashing voices
rocking her home
like a vicious hurricane.
She wakes
to orange juice
poured by glassy eyes
hiding behind an acid smile.
"Everything will be wonderful"
echoes in her ears
a hollow promise
as she leaves.
"Everything will be wonderful"
steers her actions
a blatant lie
as she plays.
She returns home
to a turbulent storm
forcing her to take refuge
with closed doors and headphone.
She falls asleep
to rainbow dreams
carrying her away
to a wonderful someday.
Closed door and headphones really struck a chord.. Sometimes it's the only way to chase a rainbow dream..Jae
ReplyDeletethis makes me think of adolecence....not feeling understood and everything seems like a hollow promise....just trying to tune it out to the headphones and music....
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jae...and turn it up loud! :)
ReplyDeleteThose rainbow dreams are hard to catch. The closer you get, the further they move away.
ReplyDeleteOh dear - this is very poignant - the blocking out of the world with the headphones - the blocking of the storm. k.
