I sit back and reflect
The life I live,
striving to make it perfect.
A childhood full of love and care,
nurtured with joy and happiness
Taught me virtues of honesty,
dedication, patience and kindness.
As I entered my teenage years,
the rose-tint began to wear away.
Of love and hate, truth and deceit,
I had to choose a path that before me lay.
Growing up, stepping into the big, bad world,
Not knowing if I would survive,
Convictions and conscience was all I had,
My biggest teacher was life.
People, like seasons, come and go
As my life's story unfolds.
Some stayed back in my heart,
With feelings still untold.
My strife for Utopia,
A life that's oh-so-perfect..
An endless struggle it shall be,
As I sit back and reflect.
