lady grace
rage becomes me
picture this me in Walmart
overcrowded and obnoxious
I'm running down the aisles like a mad woman
thinking get out of my fat ass
and you too cell phone idiot blocking the aisle
ooh I hate how ugly I can get
so selfish in my pursuit to get where I'm going
I imagine my cart a car I can mow people down with
politely I say excuse me but it just doesn't go with the look of murder in my eyes
where did my Christmas cheer go?
this line of thinking is wicked
indulging my demons who want to be aggressive
I can't stand crowds of people
in large groups, I think we somehow become dumb asses
I take a deep breath and blow it out
apologize to the powers that be for my tirade
my patience again tested, boy did I flunk this one
I want to be lady grace someday I see her looking out at the horizon
so I compose myself knowing my patience will again be tested
it's pass failure of course for all of us

They say that through time we learn to understand what patience is in its entirely, for through those transcending moments of silence within the solitude of inner deepness, patience becomes our just reward as it pays off in the end for something's can't be rush enjoy your Sunday dear poetess..respect 🙏😎

I really enjoyed this poem. It’s funny and relatable, and the image of “lady grace” looking out at the horizon is perfect. I think that “isles” should be “aisles” in the context of a supermarket, though maybe that’s a dialect thing. To help with grammar I suggest doing what I did and getting a free Grammarly account. It works wonders.

I just keep in mind that all those other people are just living in their own heads and have no connection to their actions. It helps me not now people down with my shopping cart.

Dear B,
Try not to be too hard on yourself. Besides Walmart is not the place to practice being a lady Grace. It’s a battlefield in there on any given day. It’s survival of the fittest. 😉
You got out of there without actually injuring anyone. I’d say you were a total success! H🌷

I think this pandemic has taught us and shown us how much people don't pay attention to their surroundings let alone listen to the rules. It's a test of one's patience when people go about their way blocking isles or taking their time. But as Honoria mentioned, it is Walmart, you won't get the most considerate people. there Too many times I felt like Jekyll and Hyde, I'm about to turn into something different and curse at half the people there.
Totally relatable.

Whenever my daughter is out about and people don't keep their distance, she pretends to be on the phone and says out loud she "still can't believe she just tested positive for it a few days ago". She says people then back away.
