life

 Life is 

Not fair

At times

Whether

It’s a bad call

In a sporting event

Where it seems

This team 

Gets breaks

More than others

Or marginalized people

Have to fight battles

For centuries 

Because it’s de rigeur

I’m learning 

That some fights

Aren’t mine

And I accept 

Again what

I can’t understand 

Because 

Bitterness

Jealousy 

And anger

Emotions

I can’t afford

To keep 

Any longer

If my desire

Is to live

Peacefully with self

Do I want fame

Fortune

Or a picture perfect

Relationship

For the world’s

Consumption 

God is having

A field day

Breaking down

The walls

While I’d like

This process

To be quick and timely

It is not

Deliberately slow

Feeling every crack

And break

With an archer’s 

Accuracy and precision 

Surrender

It always

Leaves me

Tongue tied

How you teach me

In different ways

The answer

Remains the same


Love yourself and one another
