There must be more than this endless
sequential waiting for something good to stumble my way.
Must I be wholly dependent
upon someone else to meet my needs in their own sweet time?
If I should choose to seize contol
of my destiny, would the earth screech to an abrupt halt?
Or would the dark powers that be
Awaken to my defiance, and seek my prompt demise?

Good questions that certainly resonate with me. I love this poem 🙂

Thanks. Often I wonder what leads to passive complacency, especially among those with serious unmet needs!

My used to say, “You have choices in life. Do you want to be part of someone else’s plan or do you want to write your own plan?
In some cases, the fear of change and personal accountability may be greater to some than complying with someone else’s ‘plan.’

That’s what I was witnessing this week. And what inspired this poem! Fear and doubt!

LOL. Much nicer that my dad’s version- “Ya burn your ass, kid, ya sit on the blisters!”
