Sobriety means
That I always maintain my
Composure, never
Letting slip how I
Feel, not goofy or sloppy.
It’s fine. I do it.

Delusion
How oblique must my
Perspective be to hope that
This will work out well?
Outcast
Broken hearted, and
Dispirited; I cannot
Return to where they
Gather and play. I
Spoil the rhythm, upset
Those I want to please.
Peace
I want to find a
Cave and hibernate until
Life is easier
Desecrated
Shame saturated
Me to the core, rendering
My love cold and dead
Harsh
How could I have known
From how gentle you seemed, how
Caustic you’d become?
Inevitable
You wait for it to
Happen, to be the high water
Mark of your life. But
It just turns into
An everyday thing, just like
Everything else does
Shards
Our broken love cuts
Deep, like a shattered mirror,
Ruptured unity.
Dysphoria
You think I want to
Be like this? I don’t. I want
Peace and contentment.
But I’m driven to
Push and seek and endlessly
Writhe in agony
For some unknown cause.
Discontentment is my fate.
My purgatory.
