The Picture

by A.N.M. - Pisces

You can see her there...
Some "old day"....some where...
At a place she onced lived
On her tricycle she rode.....
She looked so damn sweet
With her tiny feet...
Her hair, thin and soft
Blondish, two pony-tails
Looking as if she was
Going nowhere...
It is no surprise to me now
That this "picture" somehow
Is so like me...
But like years ago
"WOW"...
So I've looked at some pictures...
Some "pictures" of me...
And each time I see 
Something "common"....
Someone who is "asking"
So curiously...
Why am I me?
Did I "ask" to be me?
To be part of this life?...
Drunken father...wimpy wife?
The darkness, the terror?
That has followed me decades!
So abnormal...I've kept
This abnormal life!
Just like when, at three...
There, in that picture, was me...
Tiny feet
Soft blond hair
On a tricycle...
Going nowhere.
