Someone Else's Life

Short poem

Someone Else's Life

by: Ellen Henderson

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live someone else's life?

Perhaps I should be an actress so that I can live someone else's life every day.

But I don't do that.

I just trudge through my own life,
hoping that somehow it gets better for me later.

I have to have hope that it will get better for me,
even though it does not appear that way right now.

I had thought about writing self help books when I was younger,
but how can I do that when my own life is such a mess.

I still need the self help books.

There have been no solutions, only more problems.
