To lift up a weight
and have it fall on you.
To play at a part
that wasn’t cast for you.
To need it so bad
and have it ignore you.
These are the things that have happened to me.
This is my lot in this life.
I lifted a weight
that I was not meant to,
I played all the parts
and sold out the venue,
I looked at my want
and asked it “Who are you?”
This is the me that has happened to things.
This is this life in my lot.
