We were not born for comfort. We were born for meaning...

and thus a poems initiates itself,

my bona fides, working woman,

with many creature comforts afforded,

I am a woman who works, and saves

For rainy days that are currently showering

on my head

 

Child of well to do parents, thus, a safety net

presumed beneath me a few inches off the floor,

but never has it been mentioned, never has the

topic been raised, and it could be illusory, therefore

I extravagance shun, though my existence is

fairytale especially now that I reach the unspoken

boundary of 25 years of age and youthful is not

In the lexicon those who peruse my modeling

credentials

 

So who am I to write upon these words above,

possibly cocooned, but never an assumption relied upon,

So I commence a new phase, with uncertainty bespoke,

And no clear pathway with one-way signs straight ahead,

this way this way if not a map trip that Google maps can

Plot with any certainty

 

just certainty, we were born for meaning…
