Heritage

I have been awake too long
I am too conscious
of the fabric from which I was made.
It does not prepare me;
I was cut so thin.

Perhaps I could not have taken
my inheritance of dissatisfaction;
all the legacies I have been left
in the margins of error
of these testaments.

But I have, and so it goes.
I am a gap in the generation
my young empty heart
a vessel so long filled
with expectation.
