WHO KNOWS

Is it a cage in which we sit
Hemmed in by insecurities

Loneliness and angst
Searching for something
Yearning to fly
As the days turn to nights
Which pass us by

Or is it a stage on which we flit
From glory to glory
Like pretty flowers
Filled with the perceived importance
Of our own unique story

And is it a choice
Do we make it
Or break it
By our own inner voice

Or the random mixing
Of karma and fates
That throw ingredients together
To bake random cakes

Who knows
Who can ever truly know

Why my cake tastes so bitter
Marion Price(2019)

Marionette! 
You're truly a wonderful writer. Great, pensive poem, beautifully penned. 
I miss you. I haven't been on much due to literary angst regarding some chickens, but have missed your great writing. 
I hope to be on more when I'm present in a more usual fashion, but for now, hi, and keep writing, because you're really talented. 

Matthew.

Thank you, Marionette! 
What a nice compliment! The last compliment I received was in April of 1992, so it's nice to hear, and it was: You're not a quarter as dumb as you look! (thanks mom). Anyway, I appreciate it, and you, and your wonderful writing and friendship! 
Oh yes! I forgot about the contest! I will contemplate it! 

Thanks!
