Handle With Care

I feel as though my life should come with a warning label:
Caution.  Fragile.  Handle with care.  
Feeling like a box knocked sideways--this way up--damaged in shipping.   
Thrown in the mail and marked as shipped.  
Stamped and stacked among the others--different packaging, same destination.  
I don't know where I'm going.  
One by one those around me are dropped to homes together or apart
And I remain stuck in this dim delivery, waiting for my chance to see sunlight again--
Not just the brief reminders as doors open and others are freed.  
I never asked for labels such as these, but if I must have them at least read them right:
Caution.  Fragile.  Handle with care.
