I’ve known you for years but never truly looked in your eye. For out of all the words that came from your mouth also came the color green. I thought it was all done in jest but I never listened to what was in your heart until it burned through. I just wish that eye could see a bit deeper into the pain and difficulties I’ve had to bear and continue to deal with it instead of look skin deep.
Whether it’s close loved one’s battling sickness in their head or ailments in their body. Early memories that were full of constant teasing and harassment not only by fellow students but by those who were supposed to be there to protect me. Watching my life get torn apart not just by relationships that went sour but a betrayal of lies that could have put me behind bars for life. I’ve had many a difficult shoe to fit into yet it has led me to this path where you and probably many others are envious of what they see with only one eye truly open.
FOOTNOTE- I thank G-D for all the blessings I have today and note I might not have gotten here if it was so smooth. I also thank G-D for all the blessings you have and continue to wish you all the success that this entails even if it’s paved with Gold Bricks I may never walk upon.
