Hard Pressed Search For Positivity
Today I’m reminded of regrets caused by life’s imperfections;
Once upon a time my face didn’t suit expectations;
And I can’t help but pounder; was she but a victim also.
Practicality continually told me we were both being foolish
But my heart; it would not listen;
Love won is worth the gamble it contended;
But the delusions of society turned it to a sad joke
I lost a friend I cared for; a talent worth mention;
And I see now the impressions left behind;
Serve as reminder that;
I’m lost here with nowhere to call home.
