[hometext] => Too many of us find ourselves here...This was inspired by an entry from my journal.
[bodytext] => I cash my check and drive home
Picket fence, quiet neighborhood
Living the American Dream
I'm living in a Dream
It took a lot to get here
Gave up so much for this
Waking up everyday
Still tired and aching
From the one before
But I wash my face
And go to work everyday anyway
Today was a hard day
Tonight will be more so
Same situation every time
But I've got that Dream
Picket fence, quiet neighborhood
We gave up so much to get here
Falling apart everyday
Tired and aching
From the one before
Without asking why
But we wash our faces
And go to work
Cash my check and drive home
Picket fence, quiet neighborhood
Living the American Dream
I'm living in a Dream
Weary from a hard day
Same as the one before
But I get up everyday
Without asking why
Wash my face
And go to work

Hi Kara...this is very realistic... Yes, we all have dreams and wish they would come true some day, but we also need to stand firmly on the ground....
Miss you grrlfriend..

Great write, as always, Karabeara! My associative memory kicked in with this one. Kinda reminded me of when I was married. Made me think of her going through those motions and once again.....did she leave someone again just to see if she could find that grass that's always greener on the other side?
Anyways, I like it. Keep it up.

Kara, I started balling when I read this. You have no idea how hard this hit me right in the heart. I have always sacrificed and put my wants and needs aside for the people I love and care about even if it meant I would have nothing. Thank you so much for writing this.

Kara...
This is an honest portrait and dedication to the unsung heros who just press on, doing what they do. It made me a bit melancholy, but then I don't even have the Dream Picket Fence, so it's a bit of woe-is-me-ism. It's really a lovely piece. Thank you for sharing it.
Be well,
Loende |

A true american poetic treasure,
simply stunning in it's portrayal
of reality in it's most revealing of
all presentations, the american
made, worker . . .

This poem drew me into the sadness
of you and left me breathless amidst
your innocense, as of now, i'm once
more reminded of the awesome artistry
you posess along with the tenderness
dwelling in your emotions, indeed,
a lovely write to behold.
