Snapshot Poem: "Untitled Part II"

II

Perhaps I am wrong
They are superwomen
Living dreams
Leaving me behind
Perhaps I am missing out
On the beauty of life
Always longing for it

I wonder perhaps,
If a part of me is missing
Dead before birth
10 fingers
10 toes
But no emotional competence
Lacking the ability to maintain the connections
I so sincerely need
Drive and follow-through, nil
A deficit of action
And overcompensating imagination

And so I spend my days
Imagining a life like theirs
Scared to find out the hard way

i'm somewhere between being here and being where they are...it's cool, as long as we are moving
