Hello!
From RandomWordGenerator
It would appear that my speaker from yesterday still wants to unburden his or her soul to us.
I also had The P!nk song Family Portrait start up in my head when I read ‘photograph’ followed by ‘diplomat’.
Willpower Point Functional Photograph Block Muscle Cream Diplomat Embarrassment
It took great willpower
Not to point out
That, although we looked
A functional unit
In our forced-smile photograph,
We were each an island –
A lonely block of land
Battered by the seas of change.
And never sheltered
By our father’s arms:
He used his muscle to intimidate,
Not protect.
He told us we could never rise
To be the cream of any industry,
Or excel at anything we did.
He let us know
Where we belonged –
That ‘folks like us’
Were born to fail.
And our mother,
Ever the scurrying diplomat,
Escorted us out of rooms;
Proffering ice packs
(And make-up)
To eschew embarrassment.
I am so thankful that this is not my truth. My heart aches for those who have this in their lives and/or history.
