A Perfectly Blurry Life

Our life in between is somewhat a blur, rarely in focus

filled with play dates, battle of the minds, and quiet movie nights

choosing battles is always a chore

seeing the gray multiply faster than I can count

but when it's just us

hanging out at the beach

talking about your friends

the infamous talent show you spend a year planning

the cartwheel you need to perfect

the almost there splits

the search for the perfect seashell

the heart shape rocks

the important things to you at the age of nine

makes for a perfectly blurry life
