I am
caught up
caught in
caught
live and wiggling

rapt in rap I can
wrap it up
just fine

and in solitary
am I not woman enough
to please a man
who is playing
solitary
and playing on
in a play of life
yet displays rife

his content in his
con’s tent
where his just is
spent
or was justice
intent

that this life be spent
intense
and in like or not
this time misspent

in pent-up
frustrations
raging
against
sage advice that still
echoes his vices
through no particular
ad at all….

all the while,
wondering
if who he is caused
me to be who
I am

Decaflame,

A very interesting piece from you.  I would guess that who he is caused you to be "part" of who you are.  After all, we are part of all that we have known.

Lots of nice rhyming, which I love. *S* And then ending was...powerful.

interesting series... word play in this is enjoyable even though the emotional content is painful..and yes we are..all who we are...in part because of who we are or have been with
