In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “I Have Confidence in Me.”
I am an actuary, I see
Patterns everywhere:
The math behind relationships,
And between here and there
.
I am good enough at it
To have made a career:
But much of that was simply luck,
I often think — or fear —
.
As for where I’m deficient,
Long readers know it’s true:
I envy bodies who’ll do what
Their owners tell them to
.
I envy dancers most of all,
And I think this confirms
The fact my mind and body really aren’t
On speaking terms
