Life

Life is a funny
I say this because all through your life you live in a fog
And for some people it just seems like one day they wake up
And the fog is gone
And know they see the world for what it really and truly is
Harsh and rough and not like it was when the were in the fog
And now they wish they were back in the fog
That let the world seem like such a save place
But the reality is that it’s not but some people for some reason
Just haven’t awoken or don’t want to from the fog

Wow!!! This truly expresses the way many of us exist in a quagmire of doubt and fears and completely unaware of who we really are or what this wonderful world is. Thank you for sharing. Margaret.
