Hear My Struggle, Feel My Pain & Enjoy My Rhymes: A Poetic Ride to Solace

By Jovon Middleton

IF ONLY YOU BELIEVE
I heard a rose can grow out of the concrete and a flower can bloom in the darkness, a fairy can ride a unicorn and a mermaid can bring laughter and happiness.
They say you can be blind as a bat or as strong as an ox, you can live in a enchanted forest with dwarfs and dragons and save a beautiful princess with golden locks. Travel through space with aliens and robots, or sail the seven seas and fight pirates, gargoyles, or a cyclops.
You can fly on a magic carpet and make a wish with a Genie in a lamp, converse with zeal around the fire at camp. Look for the abominable snowman camouflage in a blizzard, dance in the courtyard with jesters and cast spells with a wizard. A mystique to mystify like Houdini with another trick up his sleeve but you can have anything if only you believe....................
