DESTINY IS TESTING ME

DESTINY

IS TESTING ME

TO SEE WHERE I FIT IN

I'M NOT SURE

IT'S TOO OBSCURE

AND YET I MUST BEGIN

TO TRY TO FIND

SOME PEACE OF MIND

MUCH TO MY CHAGRIN

 
Author's Notes/Comments: 

THAT LAST LINE THAT BECAME THE TITLE MUCH TO MY CHAGRIN SOUNDS FAMILIAR TO ME...I KNOW I USED THAT LINE IN ANOTHER POEM  YEARS AGO I THINK I HAVE ON SOUNDCLOUD BUT MAYBE YOUTUBE... I MAY HAVE USED THAT TITLE BEFORE...THAT IS NOT A WORD I EVER USE NATURALLY BUT IT HAS POPPED UP IN MY POETRY BEFORE....NOT SURE WHERE IT COMES FROM BUT THEN AGAIN MY POETRY ALWAYS HAS ME GUESSING OR WONDERING WHERE THOSE LINES COME FROM...THEY COME QUICKLY AND DISAPPEAR EASILY SO I JUST  TRY TO WRITE THEM DOWN AS FAST AS I CAN SO I DON'T LOSE THEM....IF I FIND THAT TITLE WAS USED FOR THAT OTHER POEM I WILL HAVE TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER ONE FOR ONE OF THEM OR THE OTHER....I GUESS I WILL CHANGE IT TO DESTINY IS TESTING ME  SINCE I AM PRETTY SURE I HAVE USED THAT CHAGRIN LINE AS A TITLE BEFORE ....I FOUND THE OLD POEM I WAS THINKING OF ON SOUNDCLOUD IT IS CALLED MUCH TO OUR CHAGRIN BUT A LITTLE TOO CLOSE OF A TITLE FOR ME AND IT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT....   https://soundcloud.com/pamschwetz/much-to-our-chagrin-by-pam-schwetz?in=pamschwetz/sets/my-poetry-recited-by-me   IT IS PART OF MY POETRY PLAYLIST ON SOUNDCLOUD....THE PLAYLIST SAYS NINE YEARS AGO SO IT IS SOMETHING THAT I REMEMBERED THAT TITLE BEING TAKEN OR TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT ANYWAY OFF BY ONE WORD... HERE IS THE LINK TO THE POETRY PLAYLIST ON SOUNDCLOUD FROM NINE YEARS AGO... https://soundcloud.com/pamschwetz/sets/my-poetry-recited-by-me
