Giants

 

Giants guide my life

So tall I can’t see 

Their kneecaps

Let alone look them 

In the eye

I cower before them

Afraid of what will be  

When I stray from my path

These giants return me 

Then I remember 

To prioritize

I know they will not change

I must adhere to their wishes

Powerless to stop them

They do with me 

As they will

I learn as I suffer. 

If I don’t suffer,

I don’t learn.

I like to learn. 

Learning is important. 

I once felt stupid 

I never want 

To feel stupid again

So, I thank my giants 

I needed that!
