SELF INFLICTION

Folder: 
JOURNAL#3

I am caught up in my own inescapable thoughts
once again
It's a shame I can't make the current norm and
perverse take to each other so to blissfully blend
who is qualified to say that maybe I have already
gone around a blind man's bend
my reign of restricted reason I proudly stand up
and defend
I will study this conflict when I feel the will to do
so and find some sparing time to spend
to myself ,quick and constant support I will
repeatedly lend
should I flail my vented hostility into the air like
a white flag on a battlefield and cry I surrender
my chances of withdrawing singed emotions after
the fact must be nil to slender
and against the odds stacked
when you get it down right, life can be tender
If I were two and not one I would mark myself off
and be stamped return to sender
with that final statement, I consider this page to be
rhetorically done
and my own passage through this piece I'll no longer
hinder............
