Sphere and Did Disappear

Sphere and Did Disappear

Of influence was not sure of which sphere,
Each had belonged to even  there or here;
When  beguiled;
A problem child,
We saw success when they did disappear.

Self fulfilling prophecy

I read book dedications and cry.
Nostalgia burns worse than
the words you used to speak.
I've been the problem child since
—well, ever.
A self-fulfilling prophecy.

Isn't it ironic,
my diamond dame?
You brought me into this world
pink and smooth and wailing—
or so I’ve heard.

Some nights, I wonder:
Did the chicken come first, or the egg?

Did you hate me
before you made me?

Problem Child

Sullen and defensive
(what's it to you?)
quietly disappearing

what difference does it make?
[tiny] and inferior
beaten into believing the propaganda
from [un]reliable sources

Her heart knew [stuck in survival mode]
nothing but self loathing and
self preservation.  To her (unknowing) credit.
Strength.

Regarded as a “loose canon”
by proxy and
so it went.

Scarred.
A miracle.
In God’s eyes.

Harsh Lesson

against my desk I lay my weary head
ailing of sully thoughts.
the prediction of an angry ruler,
a shadow above me.
dreading to rise and face the wrath,
the answer unknown-
or flown to a place of respite.

words boom, resounding,
demanding explanation.
then, a vengeful blow
lands solid upon my back.
bored slumber now gone,
stripped painfully away.

the problem child,
face to face
with harshness,
makes learning
miserable,
instead of wonderment
and joy.
