I live my life like it’s mine.
I make choices trying to satisfy
My vision of how to fly
In the face of adversity,
How to cry
When I can no longer
Hold it in.
Circumstances beckon,
Derailing planned paths.
I reckon
I can only
Leave things to
God’s plan.
I would love to be lured away
Though,
To a cosy cottage
Just for one sweet day,
With nothing to do
But read books
And say
‘I wish life could always be
This way’.
