this poem was inspired by the 2007 “dreams part 2”

nail on the coffin on the future I wanted
no prince charming
no house with the white picket fence
instead I stare down at the barrel of poverty
trying to find a glimmer of who I used to be
among my many forgotten dreams

What an interesting quote you’ve included – “Existence is plagiarism.” I’ve never thought about that before and your poem – as always, touching and honest.
