Trey Hamner Poet Rhyme

Assuming My Role In the Diorama

I awake with the question "Am I like my predecessor?"
Automated and fabricated to slave for the oppressor
I join the procession yet I am an orbate transgressor
Dissipated and attenuated with no clear successor 

Then I drift into much more lofty domains
With greater rewards yet more precarious terrain
A place where answers can not quite be explained 
Where the mind is confounded but the spirit ascertains

Then I shower and shave; I sigh and greet the day
Will it be my chagrin or triumph I put on display?
In my head I have a tempest, in my heart a bouquet
I must choose which one to portray, which one to obey

Line Gauthier January 2, 2018 at 8:05 AM Hi Trey, please fix your typo to... bouquet... then you can delete this comment. I still thought you deserved a 1st place. Trey Hamner January 2, 2018 at 4:39 PM Man, I hate it when I misspell or use improper grammar! I usually don't even do it or at least catch it, I guess I was tired.
