Grass Is Greener

Maybe I am looking at things just a little wrong
Being alone through life isn't really what makes you strong
If life leads you in deeper and deeper
It's just taking you to where life is a little greener
A little richer, a little fuller, cream puff alley
To where lifes cares and worries are just a little fickle falley
Maybe I am wrong, makes me feel as if I am strong
Question still is how long I am willing to prolong 
The who and where of just what exactly went so terribly wrong
Thats been just so so long
Now with so many days gone
I guess there is no reason to dittle dalley
The grass is always greener

Nice verse. Viv x Login to Reply Courtney Courtney Date: 6/23/2015 2:18:00 AM But every time I jump I fall down try try again I guess

Jan Allison Date: 6/18/2015 2:20:00 AM I agree with Paul's comments. I think we all need periods of solitude even if it is simply for an hour at a time when we can have time for 'me' but we do need other people around us to help us in our complex lives and stop the intense lonliness :-) hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Courtney Courtney Date: 6/23/2015 2:19:00 AM Thanks JAn

Paul Callus Date: 3/5/2015 11:25:00 AM Being alone in life can make a person strong, but no man/woman is an island....happiness is also derived from sharing with others. Grass can be greener further afield. All the best. // paul Login to Reply Courtney Courtney Date: 6/23/2015 2:20:00 AM A temple but yet on another mans island??

Neva Romaine Date: 3/5/2015 10:29:00 AM Hey Courtney, stopped by for a visit. This is a poem of subtle sadness and longing, but I sense an inner strength. Just take care with that "greener grass". Pull on it first and see how deep it goes - crab grass can be green too! A well written piece here! Be Blessed, Neva Login to Reply
