Masters of Life

Inspired by a storyline from a show. Not everyone's childhood is a blessing. Some of us learn harsh lessons. It makes trust and honesty high priorities. Masters of life By Michelle Morris 02/07/2023 You're looking right past me I know it's almost time for freedom I'll be walking through that door Leaving this house behind me I'm no longer beautiful to you I no longer suit your story I'm a child without a family I'm a tumbleweed in the world All these object lessons Have taught me over many moons No child should go through this No child should grow up so soon But the focus and determination Has made me stronger than my peers I understand the importance of honesty I know truth makes for way less tears Because deception is a smokescreen It hides agendas and shallow waters But the liars and the hurters Reveal themselves through eyes and souls Not everyone's childhood is a blessing Some children become masters of life when really young But the broken dreams and missing kisses Teach us about being leaders with kindness and courage © Michelle Morris, 2023
