Another Life in Mine
Another life in mine,
Is a story about a woman,
Who lived the life I always wanted,
But never lived.
Another life in mine,
One filled with adventure,
Thrill,
And excitement.
Another life in mine,
Travelling around the globe,
Seeing all there is to see,
Experiencing everything that can be.
Another life in mine,
Hiking up mountains,
Swimming in the ocean,
Trekking through the dry and sunny desert,
And swinging on vines through the dangers of the jungle.
Another life in mine,
Standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower,
Reading the time on Big Ben’s big glass face,
Eating sushi in Tokyo,
And being pushed back and fourth through the rush of Times Square.
Another life in mine,
Surfing the waves of the rough yet majestic ocean,
Scuba diving under the deep blue sea,
Standing on the bow of a boat and slicing through the wind,
And swimming away from a shark as fast as the water will carry you.
Another life in mine,
Meeting people of all sorts,
The president of our country,
The queen of another,
And rock legends that go down as some of history’s greatest.
Another life in mine,
Eating exotic and queer foods,
Dolphin in the Bahamas,
Snails in Paris,
And scones in England.
Another life in mine,
Cooking and baking the finest of all,
Layer cakes as light as air,
Sauce as creamy as cream itself,
And shrimp better than those of the Auzzies.
Another life in mine,
That of an heiress as rich than royalty,
Enough money to donate,
Enough to live off of,
And enough for all.
Another life in mine,
Being active all the day,
Watching the sun go down,
And party all through the night.
Another life in mine,
And this is how we are the same,
Every adventure intended to fill a void,
A void filled with loneliness.
And for me,
Some time soon,
There will be no void to fill,
Because there will no longer be me.

I chose this image because the woman I describe in the poem is very free, spirited, and passionate like the drawing in the woman of the picture which is more like abstract, a care-free, artistic, and no rules kind of art.
