I love the way you have worded all of this. Its contrast is sharp.

Excellent job on this piece you have penned. I hear so much of my mothers voice echoing throughout this write. Very thought provoking.

This is true many around us have lost site of their dreams and goals and have settled for having less. This might come across as self centred but it is really for the better to keep your sanity and be the best person you can be for those around but we must never loose site of what we really want we can't continue to do things so that others maybe happy while we aren't. To help others we may first help ourselves.
Loved it & ILY!

"The ring of destiny, slipped onto our finger, sealing our fate
Oh, the necklace he bought you is beautiful madam"

What an amazing piece of poetry, this is going onto my favourites. It was so detailed and had so depth to the words.
Brava!
