Day dreamer

She sits silenced

By the pelting

Of a locked door

Tremor and terror

Abruptly take her

Into her own world

As she zoned out

Dreaming of niceties

Of love she craved

That of a family

To adore and

Who would adore her

Not holidays or gifts

Or of material things

But of a feeling

Like a comfort blanket

A safeness she could

Call her own

Warm beds

Food to eat

And the feelings

Of togetherness

And to live

Without fear

While making memories

Instead…

She remembers nightmares

Zoned out

Even now, year’s later I still drift into my own little world.

Wishing for different but while I wish things were different or wishing I had a loving family. I also think of my children, how lucky I am to love and be loved, unconditionally!!
