The Life I Know

India Arie Inspired..

I have kept this secret from myself for far too long.
The truth is, I'm confused about where I belong.
I dont have a mother or a father and I'm living such a complicated life And this is the life I know.

My life is full in some of the most important ways,
But empty in the core,
at the end of every day I lock the door, turn out the lights....
I climb in bed and it's all alright.. Cause this is the life I know.

We all have a secret pain,
We all have a tender place,
We were born to want more and no.. I'm not meant to live alone but this is the life I know.

Just above 2 decades in..
I know I'm blessed, and I've got 7 more to go..
What tomorrow brings I do not know Yes, I know it's unconventional but its the life I know.
Sometimes it hurts like hell..
But I walk away with a poem and a story to tell..
And this is the life I know... Yes this is the life I know..

This is simply powerful. I cannot explain what it is exactly that makes me feel so connected to the words, but it's there. Keep it up.
