Never Easy

'We have been there' is what they tell me.

Coupled with disgusting smiles of disapproval.

It isnt that I haven't been there,

Rather they fail to realise we took different paths.

Some took the clean tarred little road,

Yet others had the more challenging rocky one.

For me it has never been easy,

I have had to jump over and go under things.

Never was it easy,

Others complain because their path was a little dusty

I am no judge neither am I a jury

There were times I had to pull thorns out of my skin

As they pierced me in mid trudge

Never did I lose focus

Eye on the prize. Mind over matter

Had to carry my siblings

One in each hand, another on my back.

It was never easy for me,

I dipped my hands in pots of honey

Surrounded by bees

But here I stand unscathed, unfazed

I am not were I want to be

Neither am I were I used to be.

Rather grateful I made it this far.
