Honey I Don't Take Orders

 awakened into cold tendrils of air

snaking their way under cold sheets

sleepily I feel my skin and find

no warmth there, just iciness

and I wonder again if I might be dead


why do I find myself inside a kind

of weirdness where the "rules" say, Suffer!

wait..... wait.... for hours for any kind of comfort

why were they schooled with rule books

what purpose?     still they cling to a Force


long dead now, I would have rebelled

the only thing that saved me was my anger

yes, I was assured that, without my NO!

I would not have survived at all — as in

"Honey I don't take orders; I barely take suggestions"


I strive for any type of normalcy

Shove, shove the silliness from my mind

yes I am still alive and I can strive

to make my words mean something

to make myself whole and show the world

who I am
