L!f3 I$ @ C@rd G@m3

I was dealt this hand,
Learning to navigate,
Too young to make the next move.

I see she discarded the father,
And dealt a sister.

She discarded the house in Georgia,
And the Parentship of my father.

She discarded my feelings,
She dealt me to Private School.

She dealt some bullies,
And I took over.

I dealt my self-injury in place of the pain,
I was dealt the Depression,
The mistake.

I was dealt Insomnia,
Anorexia,
Anxiety,
Suicidal Ideation.

I chose to deal in help,
And to no avail.

I dealt in cries of help,
She dealt ear muffs for all in range.

I dealt in tears,
She dealt blinders for no one to see.

So I took back what control,
I could from dealing in everything.

I lost,
She won,
Because the dealer always wins.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
