Love Poem: BODY WORK

BODY WORK

Funny how independence
Can blind lack of choice
The feel of wheels
Silencing the roaring voice

Yellow, plain, drab
But it got me to my destination
Blaring the AM radio
While I chalked my delineation

Finally, graduating my goal
So I got myself a present
I wanted roast duck
But the dealership gave me pheasant

My partner wrecked my present
And took my decision power away
Every body I got was good for a time
Then turned to clay

Finally, free to be me
......WHO'S THAT......

Blindly I walked onto lots
Expecting care and compassion
They just wanted to sell, me,
A body decked in the latest fashion

Upside down, Topsy- Turvy 
Became my new way of existence
No wrecks to report
In my system resistance

Finally, my wheels were given back
My name swiped with black ink
All that I tried to build
Now with dirty dishes, in the kitchen sink

I'm left with ME
Without deceit running about
The journey is arduous 
But I'm finally finding out

.....I'm worth loving
