It’s easy for you, they say.
\nI remember leaving my house at a cold, dark night, while the wind is blowing so hard I can hardly hold the door, and start running.
\nIt\u2019s easy for you, you don\u2019t grow fat.
\nI remember not having a second portion at the festive table.
\nIt\u2019s easy for you, you are never cold.
\nI remember not feeling my frozen toes in my wet shoes.
\nIt\u2019s easy for you, you have plenty of time.
\nI remember putting on my cold running clothes after reading the bedtime story in the evening.
\nIt\u2019s easy for you, you have enough money.
\nI remember waiting long hours for the bus every day to get home.
\nIt\u2019s easy for you, you never get ill.
\nI remember when hot water hurts my skin and I can only hope I have not got cold out in the rain.
\nIt\u2019s easy for you, they say.
\nI\u2019m wondering: is it easy for me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
