Why do I try to please
those whose motivation
is only self-serving, material
gain more important than
intrinsic rewards?
How is that I’ve tied
myself to the downtrodden,
dependent upon the nay-sayers –
those lacking imagination
incapable of celebration
settling for the mundane,
as if choices are limited?
I want to embrace each day,
dignify each moment,
regale the glory
life is miracles
and mystery, passages
and opportunity; and I yearn
to break through the walls
of limitation and rejoice
yet I am subjected
to the whims of others,
passion overridden by
disappointment, convinced
I am never enough.
