It's then you realise ....



When all of the darkness in the forest 
comes at you suddenly in a rush …. 
and all of your restricted movement 
is a constant reminder that you are 
in a nightmare dream …. 
When everything you say is rebutted 
by the others in the room, and a perfect 
storm is brewing down in the city just
beyond your window panes ….
When every little thing she does is magic 
but the magic she does is never for you …. 
When you are ignored and passed over 
continually and your talents are disregarded 
as anything significant or special …. 
When nothing else remains except four dots 
at the end of your sentence …. 
it’s then you realise …. 
this poem is about you
