World of Pastels and Brights
by
Laura Beth Leither
She lives in a world, fill of pastel
Full of innocence, truth; no secrets to tell
Smothered within the lighter hues
Calmer days cease, rush and the blues
My life, so different, loaded with brights
Bribes and deceit, when you're in the spotlights.
Constantly on the go, whatever the day
My worst enemy: time; just slipping away
How different our lives lived may be
Similarities remain; but hard to see
Dreams of success in life, work and play
Striving to reach them, before drifting away
