Assignment: If you could choose to wake up as someone else, who would it be and why?
"Greener Pastures"
If I woke
to another's eyes
I wouldn't see
my greener pastures.
Fame and glory
may have their charms,
but could I look down upon
those who worship me?
Beauty and grace
may be a beautiful fantasy,
but what happens to me
when they fade?
Love and admiration
may soothe my insecurities,
but will all beings
love me true?
If I woke
to another's eyes
my greener pastures
would wilt and die.
