W3 – Belonging

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
growing up shy
pie was in the sky
berries all sweet
hearing bird tweets
walks in the woods
making dams in the brook
as to the future not even a look
my destiny was as my sisters’
wanted marriage and kids with no resistance
as I look back on years gone now
I think to myself and wonder how
the choices I made were fantasy fueled
a life not imagined and how it was ruled
but older still the regrets just small pools
and I observe new life in my family view
and realize I’m one of the privileged few.
