Awakening

All was a dream

A dream of sorrow.

A fog of grief;

An endless tomorrow.

 

Happiness fled

I reveled in pain.

Only to be with you

I welcomed the strain.

 

A stupid mistake

Though I knew it inside

My vision was clouded;

Swept along for the ride.

 

A gentle tug here

Some affection returned

I was in heaven,

not totally spurned.

 

And then it all clicked

Only after a while.

I exulted in knowing

I could finally smile.

 

My feelings just vanished

Like they'd never been

And now I've awakened

From the dream I was in.

Good poem Katiya. I like the rhyme scheme, as well as the use of conflicting imagery between images of sorrow and happiness. The theme of the poem is open to the reader's interpretation, as it is up to us to decide which parts of the dream's scenario actually took place and which parts were merely part of the narrator's imagination. Perhaps it is the final part of the dream scenario, where she ends up happy, that is the illusion.

 

Once again, good work.
