It seems you deal the hand you're dealt.
What was his is now yours.
What was done to you, you do to them.
What you deal, you are dealt.

 

Like a Fellini perspective
Your life rolls out.
Grotesque and crude
Sublime and magical.

 

I even asked for the hand
I prayed for the cards
I asked for the man
To come to me

 

as I needed and wanted.


Only one person would know that

That which I wanted and needed most
That which I was familiar with,
had knowledge of

 

And it wasn't me

 

All I do know is
That I've dealt the hand I was dealt
I'm living the scheme I concieved
For someone else, not me.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I need to live out my wishes.  They are surely what I need, but is it what I want...or is it all I deserve.  What I do have is glorious...I just want more and more often.
