Is a dish served at adolescence.
A menu of friends to distinguish.
Your selection, your life effecting.
Taste, the utmost of importance.

Unique to those psychotic.
Unchosen impatient personality.
Forcibly controller exuberance.
Cluttering intelligible thoughts.

Their table has ordered, and waiting.
Discussion of who to share, what plate.
Conversation rising to acceptance.
Their assortment waiting to arrive.

Cannibalistic cultural desire.
Starvation of social attention.
Individual sacrificial identity.
Seated placement irritatingly far.

Jocks, more jocks, and prep too.
The nerds, intelligent adventure.
Predictable purchase for many.
The coloration of attributes fog.

My choices never becoming.
All sit in the same chair.
A Rolodex of minds.
Fighting each other.
Begging to see.
What to eat.
Who to be.
In me.

Best of wishes in all thy future endeavors & ♥ ∞,
— the one without shade

    Wow, WS, that was a really striking piece.  I wasn't expecting the ending, at first I was thinking it was just about a school lunch or something ... and then I read that last segment. A rolodex of minds ... that really struck me.  Good job.

    "Taste, the utmost of importance".

    Great line. So raw and true. The initiation of our adolescence and the choices of life open in front of us like a salad bar..

    Sad realization is ....your choices never become.
    But i think its a destiny that ties the majority of us.

    I really like it.

I have a few writings inspired by other soulcasters. The muse for this one is Travelr712. I took a new direction after reading one of his posts. I hope a similar change will happen for you....
I dedicate these words to poetzsoul, in hopes that her next 25 years are motivating....
