NOT FANCY

I was alone and depressed

Picking up pieces of glass

A broken candle, shattered

On my fancy bathroom floor

I was in my fancy house

Living my fancy life

Trying to be a fancy wife

Wearing fancy clothes

And I’ve never been fancy

Not fancy enough anyway

I’m the clumsy kind

That drops candles on floors

And then finds a fancy piece

To carve all the feelings away

So I can pretend to be fancy

Just one more fancy day

*sometimes I have to remind myself exactly how far I’ve come in my journey. That I have come a long way from where I started.

  1. You have, indeed, had quite journey, with so much change that has strengthened the most real of you that has stayed the same. It’s true of many people I’ve long followed, both on the web and IRL. But sometimes we do forget where we and others started, and need reminders.
