The game of life
Everyone has a public life, a private life and a secret life. Poetry or prose.
The realest one
In public,
I am successful and educated.
I know right from wrong,
and I stay away from the things that are not
good
for me and the life I want to live.
My private life, is more complicated.
I struggle,
never knowing if what I am currently doing
and what I plan on doing,
will be enough.
I doubt every move I make,
and I'm anxious all the time.
But my secret life-
the one that no one knows about,
and I fail to acknowledge exists most of the time,
is the one in which I mourn.
Only then can I express the feelings that weigh me down,
burden my soul.
My most real life-
is my secret life.
Even though I desperately wish it weren't.
