Good artistic ability...this is a disturbing realization at your age. You are a part of the family and you shouldn't give up but maybe you are seeing yourself in the family that you are going to build and you are your daughter and feeling what it is going to feel like for her. There is always hope for the future if there is no hope for the present.
I truly value being unconscious myself, but hang in there and don't give up on those dreams.
Great poem Crystal. I wondered if you would post anymore! I'm glad to see you are. I hope all is well with you and everyone. :) Sincerely, Mary
Crystal, this is a wonderful piece, though I do not appreciate the theme wich is too pessimistic. Without doubt, you have a great deal of talent and you give consideration to your work. that is a good sign for an artist. You keep it up. regards, Denis Joe
Dreams are given to us to help us reconcile our realities with our fantasies, so dream on. When you dream that happy family, then you know what you want your reality to be, and you have a goal. The expression of that dream/goal through your poetry is beautiful. You are so lucky to be as young as you are and able to express your innermost thoughts. Scarlett
