'Life As I See It' Poem by Linda Winchell

If you think you have life figured out
You’re headed for a real shock.
Because the reality of it all…will hit you hard
Showing you all of what it’s not.

Those people on the big screens
And all those songs…that they sing.
They really have no idea …of the real world
They don’t not know much of anything.

For they’re blinded by their fame and fortune
I wish those blinded... one day might see.
The truth outside their protective gates
Are but…their false security.

As a child still I know not much
Some say… that I’m the lucky one.
For I’ve only had a small taste of life
Of which… has only just begun.

Some take life in different ways
Like anger, fear and tears.
Mine however… is thought of much differently
And may change as I face…my oncoming years.
