The Package


It was the whole package.
Nothing about it required to be changed.
Upon initial delivery, though,
It was rerouted to another destination.

Once received, It was mishandled.
They didn't know what to do with it.
Wasn't what they thought they ordered,
Once they saw it in action.
They couldn't see past their own disorders.
With a package that didn't quite fit their needs.
A package they didn't know how to relate.
Since they couldn't relate to this non-relative.
So they spindled the package when they felt out of control.
They decorated the package with their own labels and show of identity.

The package endured for years all the mislabeling, mishandling it received.
They who adopted this package considered re-sending it back to the original sender.
Or rehoming it to others.
What was best they believed.

As the years past, this package would not last in their possession.
It eventually broke free.
The contents of the package was determined to Be.

Yes it's true.
When I climbed out of their box.
No longer under their keys and locks.
I was finally stamped "Rejected"
That was fine with me.
I was determined to see
Who, not what, I was meant to Be.
After all those years mishandled, misunderstood.
So I flew.

Oh, by the way, did you know?
There's still postage due!

Is There Nothing More?

Dinner is on the wall Children crying, infant screaming Fear freezes her when he calls Between them there is silence peeling Its the way they only know Its how love they struggle to show He knows nothing more She can’t bear the blood and sores She understands she must flea But how else can she Be? _______________ Copyright © 2020 HeardWords America

His Love for Her

Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say? Who was it that carried me on the bier? Well, will you pray for me? Or can't you wait to see another man, if only you can?  Life with you was never,  the kind I wanted.  You called me "friend" That was after you put an end to our coupling. That was after you had my ring  cut off your finger. I can hear you singing after that. You had your own definition for being a swinger. A woman, free and unattached. Since then we've never been intimate. No matter the many times I had to wait. You would love me  Only by cleaning and laundrying for me. Still you'd never give me a bath. We had a life together you never let last. Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say?     "She buried him, with his love for her.      She's not so demur."  _________ copyright ©️ 2023 SDKilmer, LLC All Rights Reserved www SDKi

Oh how I love your manners. Does it really matter That I want to be like you? Got nothing else to inform me. So let's see, who I am. If I can break free from Being an Adoptee Chameleon Of different colors. With different lovers. To
