We are different.

In every facet of life we walk two different paths.

I take a hot shower after a long day

You walk 5 miles to fill a pail so your family will have water that day…

I wake up and grudge going to school

You wish you could go to school…

Anytime with the flick of a switch I have light

You only have 14 hours of light…

I can choose to join the military if I want to

You are forced, even if you don’t want to…

I take what I have for granted

You take nothing for granted…

You will probably never experience my life

I will never experience yours…

We were born in different situations

But never did you cross my mind for quality time

They always say, “Be appreciative of what you have…” but truly

Your struggle will only be a thought in my head

And it quickly faded away

But for you it is a reality. One you go through everyday

Yours has been lasting for 16 years…

Mine…16 seconds

It was a close one for me not to be with you

A close one for you be with me….
