Traveled through
The cursed forest
Bewitched under
Spells for miles
Swam across a
Quicksand tank
Filled with snakes
And then jumped in
The murkiest lake
Found it a mistake
Only to be caught
Confused and dizzy
Inside a crystal ball
Until the glass
Cracked and I found
A way out and then I
Ventured through
The queen's castle walls
And it was off
With my head yet
Somehow I dodged
The ax and then
I was fighting off
The headless man
On his horse with
A mask and so I
Kept moving along
Until I ran away
To a better time
All in my mind
To let the good in
Let's pretend
The cursed forest
Bewitched under
Spells for miles
Swam across a

Filled with snakes
And then jumped in

Found it a mistake

Until the glass
Cracked and I found

Ventured through

And it was off
With my head yet
Somehow I dodged

This poem is more than it seems. This piece basically turns my real life journey into a fictional tale. It is difficult to explain to anyone, but have you ever felt like you have faced battle after battle in life to the point where it seems stranger than fiction? For instance, I'm a cancer survivor, and when I was going through treatments it felt like swimming through the quicksand tank filled with snakes as in it being a tough battle and just as you are making progress a snake comes along like your blood cell count drops dangerously low. I have always had a vivid imagination, and I've used it to get through the rough times. I know we all have our battles, and everyone's is different. Okay, enough rambling. To health, to happiness, to many blessings in 2019. <3 Much love. <3
