Outside In A Shattered Dream Poem by Yvonne Rautenbach

Did you ever feel as sliced away..as if you struck a knife
Cut away and castaway in someone else's life?
When you very peel has curled and dried away
Everything you tried to do
Discarded from the day
That very special moments you thought were so profound
Are shrivelled in the winds of time
Where shattered dreams are found?
Observing other peoples days and following their lives
I will never ever feel my own until the end arrives.
