Arete Redux

I never

considered emotions

as the backbone of my

existence -

if it falls, it falls

alone.

Collapse is

a wounded ego,

for It is that keeps

me standing wherever

soil I'm on -

Gaining it back

is being reborn

as another

person.



(Feb-2005)

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Arete: the word actually means something closer to "being the best you can be," or "reaching your highest human potential."
