I dare you....

 

 

I dare you......

A challenge was given,

accepted and decreed.

I dare you to stop secretly,

manipulating and controlling.

 

"Ex-cuse me,"  I replied.

I dare you to stop wearing the old crown of thorns.

Throw out and discard every invitation to the self-pity party.

Interesting isn't it how "those" invites never get lost in the mail.

 

Offended and wounded, the mist surrounds, well that's just not very nice.

I can't believe you said that to Me!

Followed by several wise excuses.

And the infamous twist of How dare YOU blame me!

These are circumstances out of my control.

 

Ah, the crown of thorns slowly bleeds.

Draining away the powerful Able options

available to bold abilities.

Confronting core issues of trust and faith.

 

If things do not go as planned disappointedly,

and life just seems to dump endlessly.

The daily triumphs and decisions we face,

is it excuse that I serve, or justifications blame.

What is my responsibility.

 

Entitlements spoken degree in complaining,

encouraging apathy reactions that "do nothing" at all.

Or the Powerful ordinary self-less actions,

of living, giving and forgiving, day to day.

 

Never mind, you probably,

wouldn't understand, versus

That is great news, I'd love to help out.

I have time on Sunday and Monday nights.

What can I do...

I dare you.....

 

to find out.

Contest prompt:  Who do you think you are....
I just loved your prompt


.. and BEFORE YOU KILL ME for coming off PREACHY!
This is an actual Lesson plan for my week!
SHOCKED WAS I...the Topic "JOYFUL LIFE"

for heaven's sake, i expected pictures of a waterfall,
a mother deer and baby fawn, perhaps even a lovely
4 layer chocolate cake, that is always a JOYFUL SIGHT!

oh...no...it's about Trust and Faith,
the secret ways we  in-effectively delegate,
control and manipulate! (so much for cake)

Sure hope I don't throw this lesson on the Barbecue
Grill...I'm still chewing on it a little fearfully!

    nakedly revealing was this poem...uncomfortable for me
    is it to read....it was drilling through to get past
    the weary justifications and excuse.
    as if caged by fears and the door was wide open all along...amazing me!

    no anger in this write at all, just sharing this lesson
    plan trying to work through the snapping shock of it.
    The ways we secretly and in-effectively delegate,
    seekingto control and manipulate innocently.
    It's a tough one....i find myself wrestling with the
    lesson plan, and I really do want to hear the wise
    lessons it teaches.
