No one owns their own life


No one owns their own life
Especially when they spread it around
So that it spills over onto other people’s,
I spend my life collecting
The pieces of people’s lives
They dump into my life
Often struggling to sort out
Which pieces belong to me
And which just jab me in the chest
Like shards of someone’s broken dreams.
