The Girls I Could Have Been

Never knowing
always wondering
don't speak out
swallow the pill
wash the dishes
tuck in the children
kiss him goodnight
rinse and repeat

Dragging feet
and whispered secrets
comfortable strangers
breathe easy now
house on a hill
life without worry
diamond studded cage
but sleepless nights

Subdued chaos
slowly fading
plastic smiles
worn out Bibles
muted arguments
taking sides and
suppressed beliefs
warped priorities

Never trusting
always wandering
no stability
no regrets
living on the edge
living out my dreams
maybe
but no promises
