An Alternative Me
A simple life
The son of a commoner and workman
I myself am a workman
Pride in work
Long work
Honest work
Production and legacy is honesty
Workman’s wages is all you can ask for the work that is done
Living in a place where history is as much as personal heritage as is community heritage
People the same,
Different,
All of them, but the same
A woman
Happy with only that which I have
Happy with one another
I give all to her
The reality will always set in
A reality that I truly want, but a longing that can’t be fulfilled
The longing is exactly that, a long way from the reality of life
Where it must stay for me to be wholly happy
This part of me is an alternative
An alternative that can bring happiness but to only part of me
The whole is being fulfilled in time
Finding imperfections in my life now
Learning to appreciate small intricacies of life
Learning to love life more every day.
One point to never change
The love in life, my life
Love for others and one
Never changing but always evolving.
Reality, at times most hated foe
But always shows its face as a beloved friend.
