Feelings: Dream The Pain Away Poem by Margaret Alice

Power cuts, I’m ill, you’re angry, because
you can’t watch the qualifying Grand Prix

I’m working on feeling good, not because
of good politics – it is a shambles; not

Because I look good – I don’t; not because
everybody is treating me right – they’re not,

And it’s my own fault; but simply because
I want so much to feel good, I only look

At things that make me feel good when
I focus on them - like my fairy pictures;

Messages from Entourage characters,
Wayne Dyer’s book “Real Magic” and

The illustrated “The Enchanter’s Spell”;
when the pain grows again, coming in

Waves, I stare at the fairies for hours
on end, then fall asleep, and dream

The pain away!
