Downsizing my Dreams

by Timothy   Aug 11, 2004


I wished, once upon a time,
For riches and fine diamonds, and impressive cars;
I wanted a mansion; I wanted a pool,
I wanted to travel afar.

There was no limit,
By the measuring of my greed;
I was jealous of what others had,
An insatiable lust, I was attempting to feed.

Those dreams have scaled down,
It is no longer what I desire;
Seeing my children, keeping my new love,
Are the riches I now aspire.

    Hey thanks for commenting, you are the first ever. The reason my poems i am posting are dated long ago is because i just joined and i wanted soem of my ols poems so ppl can see how i have changed some. I see you have too by thsi poem. It is very good. I like you current dreams mcuh more. By the way, ana and mia are not multiple personalities, lol, i almost wish. It's hard to explain unless you have been there. They are nicknames i guess you could say for anorexia and bulimia which i have strugglesd with for quite some time and am tryign to fight now. Thanks fotr listening. Jamie
