Perfectly Imperfect

A poem

Photo by Salvador Martin Yeste on Unsplash

The warm sand under my feet

Reminded me of summers

When we would go to the beach as a family

You boys would play in the water with your dad

While I would sit under an umbrella

Reading a book or taking a nap

We appeared to have it all back then

Good looking couple

Good looking kids

House, car, friends

No one ever knowing

That our happiness was not as it seemed

That we were living with appearances

While underneath it all

We were falling apart
