Beth Mills

cringe from the likelyhood of rejection repeated

Decisions
To make
Future
To create
Living
To devise
Happiness
To revive.

Bitterness
To erase
Resentment
To efface
Self
To acknowledge
Past
To abolish.

Betrayed by the immutablelaw of chance

To be poked and prodded
By strange and differently textured hands

One day I’ll head off to a class
Called "Talking to Your Cat"

Riches and poverty
spotlessly filled with filth
