Perfectly polished
Ā
She was a beautiful lady
something just kept herĀ
from her perfect life?
she lived alone, with five cats
I never ever saw her with anyone
she did smile, on rare occasionsĀ
her clothes perfectly pressedĀ
I'd go as far to say, she was always colour coordinated too
her shoes always looked freshly polished
and her handbag
big enough for keys and some moneyĀ Ā Ā
one day I saw her
eating at a restaurant alone on a corner tableĀ
I was sat with my fifth glass of rosƩ a few tables down
in company that was truly abysmal in so many ways
not to mention it was always me that picked up the bill
so there I was in my own little world reflecting
and it suddenly struck me...
maybe she was actually living her best life, her most perfect life?
and it was in fact IĀ
who lived with the imperfections?
after all, my shoes are never perfectly polished
and Iām never colour coordinated
but I do smile a lot.

A lol from me, the part where you pick up the bill. I can imagine it, the garcon brings you that little book. I think this one particularly special.

Just sad

There is so much more to this than appears Shirley. Perspective is everything.
It is only in letting go of society's expectations that one finds peace. I knew of an advanced dementia patient who wore suits everyday. That was his peace. Me... i've kinda turned into a bobble had lady.. sod em all ššš
Thank you my darling Marion, always a pleasure to hear what you think, it's always to be who we really are and not be manipulated or intimidated by others, you and I know that. š¹ ā¤ļø Thank you dearest of poetry friends.Ā
