Yes, You

Who do you think you are
to pum­mel me like rolled pastry
and to flat­ten me into for­giv­ing?

To bake me so brittle that I crumble
into insig­ni­fic­ance you can sweep up
as you gaze dumbly at the TV.

I will rise like you have nev­er ris­en
taller prouder – bet­ter.
You would­n’t believe what I can do.

What do you take me for?
I am not to be taken.

The fol­low­ing two tabs change con­tent below.
