Look at my Plate
LOOK AT MY PLATE
©drc 2012
Look at my plate
full of things I didn’t ask for
but with which I must deal.
Look at my plate
dished up with chaos and trauma
emotion and drama
Look at my plate
full of titles preceded by
“Incurable”
Look at my plate
full of consequences foisted on me
and me
without a choice but to have to live with those consequences
and so much of it was not due to my own choices
but the choices of others.
I don’t know what to do with this plate.
It was not my choice
I wanted to serve myself from the buffet of life,
but someone else served me from their own plate instead
and now I have to deal with their incurable consequences.
How dared they!
