Picture perfect life they say
So lucky so easy so carefree
How they wish to be her..
walk in her shoes and see
How it all just falls into place..
Gazing around She wonders who they speak of..
Eyes words attention all centered on her..
The kind naive words bring smiles to her face until it spills out into laughter as she shakes her head no fervently back and forth..
Wishing them to know truths
It’s absurd
Don’t they know nothing is easy
Nothing just happens
One must be brave
It is work
A lot of work
It is hard exhausting and wonderful work fighting for all she has..
Her actions make the choice
She chooses to live each moment
Though life is chaotic and a beautiful mess
And she teeters on the edge -often finding that balance overwhelming
she would never quit
Give up
Give in
Never gives that a thought..
Why she wonders?
she senses It is the struggle that gives her life meaning passion love happy sad worth-it-all moments..
As Her laughter subsides
she gets lost in these thoughts..
Grateful for all she’s lived
Her face lights up
Laughter spilling out again
knowing she is
Happy to walk in her shoes..
