In the land of the blue
Tracy Searight Dibert
I
am sitting here waiting it is getting so late. I keep watching the
calendar, I keep watching the date. The days keep on passing, the
season have changed. It’s moving so fast this all seems so strange
but if I keep on moving this could all fade away. -The colors of my
memories could disappear like the hue of this day. It’s
all about mixing like a portrait of the sky see the blending of
colors right before your eyes. If you look in the distance you will
see, how every lie comes together so beautifully in the land of blue
My thoughts likes to tease me on this day as my memories want to
stay... I am so distracted by my past the minutes and hours keep
moving so fast. How long can this feeling last? Why must I forget
about my past? Why can’t they just wait? Wait!
While,
I sit here waiting I come to find a letter that was written me in
attempts to change my mind. This man whose name starts with the
letter J, I have chosen to leave him I chose to runaway.
He offers me suggestions that sound so absurd, but I continue
reading taking in his every word.
If what he has written is true then surrendering to him is what I
should do? In the land of blue he claims I will come to find the
wisdom to soothe my troubled mind.
He
writes about a garden-“it is a beauty to be seen, come see this
land; you will see what I mean. Just come down to this land of blue
once you get there I will tell you what to do.”
See
his sentences so simple and fine, the descriptions he offers they
sounds so refine. Just look at his words there so cheery and bright
if I go to this land how can I not feel alright? Could all of this
really be? He claims that in this land I can find the old me?
Just
imagine no need to think for myself and there is no need to feel. He
assure me when I get there, he will remind me what is real. If I
just keep moving, stay in a line, if I keep moving ahead- I will be
fine.
While
I stand here I start to remember the pain but all of his words now
sound so strange. He says with each step that I take it will allow
me to grow but this isn’t the way that I wanted to go?
Each line I read I begin to despise; my heart feels so heavy I am
reminded of his lies. How much weight can I take? His lies are
putting my world at stake.
This
clock is ticking and it’s not stopping is they any use in us
talking? I fought and lost this battle before should I dare try this
once more? .
So
I pack everything I head out and go to the land of the blue in order
to grow. Somehow, I feel like I just made a mistake, and wonder how
much more sadness can I really take? Is it wrong for me to believe
it will be better? Why I am putting all my hopes in his letter?
This
land of blue so pretty and bright with everything he promised I hope
I will be alright.
Look,
how easy it will be- everything is decided for me. There’s no need
for me to have a plan when he is there to lend a hand.
.
See, he has already written out the directions of my fate, “Hurry
up my dear, look at the clock, you are running late. Just follow me
come right this way, step aside, today’s my day. You know we were
meant to be together it is part of the plan. Just come back my
darling to my blue land. You have my ring on your finger just hold
up your hand to show the world that I am your man. You cannot give
up on me. This is your fate; it is meant to be.”
.
Look, at this sentence can you see it too? Is this really what I
should do? It’s about his spinning; it’s all his about lies.
It’s all about his mind games his plan in disguise
“Just
keep reading and believing you will feel fine. Once you keep on
moving you will be all mine.”
I
see his words right in front of my face yet I keep traveling to his
