Begging for Crumbs

by Andrea Tadpole

I realized last night
I have wasted my life
Sitting under the table
Begging for crumbs
That never come

When God has a banquet
Prepared in another
Space and time

I'm not sure why
It has taken me so long
To release myself from
The pain of rejection
That comes from waiting
For little scraps of
Attention
Affection
Just some little sign
That never appears

Yet now that the scales
That blinded me
Have lifted
I've set myself free

No more
It ends here
Now

I'm not wasting my life
Waiting under a table
Begging for crumbs
That never come
