No Shame
I may seem lazy, I may seem lame
I surely have myself to blame.
My past life a constant struggle
I shy away in my own bubble.
I don't do what others say
I might lay around and waste my day.
No matter what you think that means
We all have our own dreams.
I've entered through another door
but I remember how it was before.
Life had me in a busy bustle
kids, work, home my constant hustle.
Now as my body breaks and ages
I'm moving ahead in life's stages
My best is done, my kids have grown
Now I live here all alone.
I wonder if you may have guessed
I'm living life in an empty nest.
I find I have all that I need
I want nothing out of greed.
Constant hustle is over rated
Now love from family keeps me sated.
So...
I may seem lazy, I may seem lame
But you see, I feel no shame.
