My Life

I was born on Innocent and Naïve Avenues. My parents tried to stay, but Landlady Life evicted us Just like everyone else. “It’s time to discover new parts of town.” she said. So they moved me to Discipline Drive and Overprotected Street. A prime location on the Path to Success I tried to run away many times, but the Traffic Light and the Crosswalk always pumped the brakes. Eventually, I found myself in the forbidden county of Depression. The Streetlights showed me the way home, but Lonely Lane and Misunderstood Place was my new address. When the constant storms destroyed my shelter, I decided to try to find this enchanted Land they call Happiness. The directions say to pass the towns of Optimism, Faith and Trust. I took the shortcut. It led me to the Undertaker who stands at the Road to Nowhere. “How do you get to the Land of Happiness?” I asked. “Make a right, another right And a left. You can’t miss it.”
