A Life Deferred
written by: Branwen Rhiannon Drew

A Life deferred,
A Dream set aside,
A Truth ignored.
When a Life deferred,
Confusion reigns,
life like badly mixed jello salad.
A Dream set aside,
stuffed into a trunk,
lid slammed shut, trunk locked.
Truth ignored.
Anger becomes a volcano,
Spewing super heated gases of self-loathing.
Years of anguish,
Heaping misery on everyone,
Hiding from myself and the world.
Life coming alive,
Dreams becoming reality,
Truth a fresh ocean breeze.
A Life fulfilled.
