The Chandelier's Decorum
They suggested that I was just a toddler moving fast.
As they wine and dined, I heard all of them say
She will be sent to the best schools.
I was only three.
The living room was elegant.
Expensive furniture and beautiful walls of wallpaper with silk drapes were the interiors design.
When the sun shined through the windows, the splendor was defined.
I love to just see the flowers bloom free - so divine.
My mind ponders on those days.
Walking to school was always enjoyed
Until one rare occasion where I was chased by German shepherds.
I was eight years of age walking the tracks.
Do you believe I am alive today?
Natural life can be whimsical.
It provides you the acumen of a scholar.
In that room was diversity in the races, there were colors that delineated tomorrow.
There were struggles to never be departed.
Impulse urges notion prophecy foresaw.
The chandelier chimes when the wind blows.
