It strikes me, <br />that people, who are <br />admired for their talent <br />and their achievement <br />seldom have biographies <br />that I would have wanted <br />to live in their stead. <br /> <br />It makes me wonder - <br />How good can I be <br />With my hardly 20 years? <br />And how good will I ever be <br />Under the curse <br />Of a peaceful home <br />And without ever <br />Having been endowed <br />with true misery.<br /><br />Laila Johanna Balke<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/authors-and-poets/
