I Know My Place - Contest

My position in life Seems to be in a queue, Never quite getting to the front, Wondering what I should do Should I change my name to "nearly", That's got a cheerful zing. The one I would love dearly is the one that goes with a "ring" That queue is long and painful walked it once before. Nearly at the front, then he was called to God's door. Now I wait and wonder If next time it will go right Trouble is in frustration I have a verbal fight Think I have worked it out now Some duct tape to shut me up Smile sweetly and nod my head Do you think that will be enough? dated 09 September 2013.

If I get to answer the question, the answer is no that won't work, not for long anyway. Really nice poem, good work.

Seren, say no to the duct tape and let your inner self be heard. The duct tape line made me laugh out loud, because I feel that way sometimes as well. You are too strong a woman to nod sweetly, you know it won't be enough. You deserve the best always. Heartfelt write! Hugs
