The Truth Reared Its Ugly Head (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)

The Truth Reared Its Ugly Head   (Bussokusekika)

Last night I awoke
And you were here next to me
So I feel asleep
This morning the rooster crowed
And when I opened my eyes
The truth reared its ugly head

    Sometimes it is hard to tell the truth and a dream apart. same goes for nightmares. not sure if i want to live in a dream or in the waking world.

      Jewel is a prime example…She even sings “There is a difference between dreaming and pretending” Her song Goodbye Alice In Wonderland is about her journey about searching for love online…I know I can’t go back and change the past nor would I ever want to…Her and I would not be who we are today IF we had not experienced and lived through that which we have…I hope her Jesus turns out to be the answer to her prayers…⛄️

      True. The trauma and agony life or "people" to be more specific put us through can guide us to the road of growth and success
