Everyday by T. Alisha Rogers

I strive everyday to be the best I can be
The best person, friendly, helpful, a realist of dreams

Everyday I look back to see where I fell short
My way to correct, or improve the being I am
Everyday I try to be a good mother, advisor, source of guidance...
Its what I do, to see young people excel, my sons included.

Everyday I look back to see where I fell short
As a freind, am I there,
As a Lover, did I hold back, If yes, why, 
If not , was openess returned.

Everyday I ask myself do I attract or push relationships away?
I share who I am, my passions, my dreams in search of a kindred spirit
To make life creative, interesting, a joy, meaningful to someone else.
Yet this state of being continues to elude me.

Everyday I wonder...can I make things any better
Will there a time when my struggles are no so personal
If there is a place, a time, a way, I can be me
Is there a person able to stand and be embraced by all that is me....

Everyday I must ask Do I have it all wrong?
