I don’t need to be here
where there is no trust
hopes, dreams ignored
I don’t need to be here
I don’t need to be there
where I’ve outlived utility
discarded like trash
I don’t need to be there
Here to there- a tough journey
to build a life of my own
to find meaning in being
Here to there – is where I don’t need to go

The rhythm of this piece was wonderful! Nice, Reena. 🙂

Repetition in this made me feel like I was a ball, bouncing back and forth between two catchers. Wonderful!

Sometimes it changes for the better, at least it remains a hope… but often it doesn’t

Each life is unique. But we manage to find meeting points, and those are called bonds.

Like a badge to be worn around our hearts when we find ourselves in such a place! Great use of the repetition to drive home your meaning.
