At A Glance

My reality is finite

What I want is at a glance

I’ve worked hard

But being myself comes easy

Wish I knew

But what I wanted wasn’t meant for me

Wish I’d known

I was funny

Had I known the nature of her

I’d not curse the nature of me

But being myself comes easy

Wish I’d known

I heed the small things

Held my tongue

Held back so many

Something stolen

Or a daydream

Her hand

Her father’s blessing

She dances with the one she loves

Their arguments are real/

When they make up it’s real/

Their hope is real/

That belongs perhaps to me

Just another place in time

My life is real

My reality is finite
