A Smaller Helping, Please

A plate

Way too big

 

I want a plate

Tea cup size

 

I have too much

It’s spilling over

 

Is it because I can

Manage the entire overflow?

 

Just when I have it in control

WHAM

 

Another helping

I did not ask for

 

I don’t want it.

 

Do you know what I mean?

 

Some have an empty plate

Even if their plate were full

 

They could empty it faster

More resources

More help.

 

I wonder if

My plate is so full

To challenge me

Like a pawn

 

Hahaha from up above

Or down below

 

It’s not funny

It’s pushing me over the edge

 

I guess, you must know

I’ll never go over

I’ll never give in

My talent

My fault.
