Weakling.

It’s hard to say with certainty

exactly what is wrong with me;

but I’m good and fucked up, mentally

in the face of my shining “recovery”;

how odd then, might I turn out to be

in the end, I still search desperately;

a semblance – a remnant, of familiarity

a piece of some peaceful memory;

it’s hard to spell out with clarity

the twisted dynamics to my personality;

the facets cut into who is left of me

the pain of the guilt chained to my feet;

the burn of the fires blazing ever wildly

a pathetic poster-child of subjectivity;

lived too close alongside of sheer depravity

to boast an escape that’s found true liberty;

as the days pass me by only to bring

as many nights by which I find captivity;

I am a hostage now to a new kind of Barbary

an evolving weakness that is just as crippling;

stripped of anyone who ever stood for anything

left alone to stumble through the oceans of debris.

    When I search for words to describe you, my dear Friend, “weak” in any form never comes up. Survival and weakness, weakling or weaker sex don’t work together. You are a survivor and deserve to have peace and tranquility, not more fighting or defending yourself.

    It’s hard to say what’s wrong with any of us. All that matters is finding people around you whose demons work well with yours. Always in my thoughts xo
