Challenge of the Week CXLII
Gratitude. What are you (or your character) thankful for? Write about gratitude. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
We can be Grateful and Wrathful at the same time and that’s okay
Yes, you raised me.
But I never asked to be born.
And yes, you did the best you could for me,
but that doesn’t been I can’t be torn.
You’ve spent wealth on my existence
and blamed your struggle on me,
whom you yourself brought into this world
I can’t pay a debt I never signed up for
and I love you deeply, it’s sure
but watching you watch me with disdain
while I struggle to make you happy
without sacrificing my own joy
it sends spindles of agony through my fingers
I want to give you the world,
but I don’t want to lose my universe.
