Digress

No one likes to feel like they’re in a therapy session.
You want another to listen with open ears and simply understand the message,
Being told against your own will telling you to bottle it inside until it explodes in your chest and,
Pierces through your guard once thought to be unbreakable regardless of impact from any weapon Faith makes useless…

But,
We’re human.
There are days we forget our faith,
Dissipating as we choose to live a fruitless life full of all kinds of confusion.
Like,
When you infuse another’s shoulder with your tears just to reveal the Con in their character.
How they could’ve been there for you before you were killed in a massacre,
On going as we exit our doors for another moment where we flaunt showings of a high,
Floating right back down in the form of ash after being burnt by their most feared realities…

Got to be careful with whom you call a brother in war.
With whom you call your wife every time you walk through the doors,
Of a home that shall never be made of glass.
You don’t really want to be like me and often ask,
“Who will help me fight the beast when it all shatters and,
Who will wipe away my tears when I fall on a bed made by every mistake God allowed me withstand?”
Because,
Most can’t survive without someone in their corner to catch them.
Most crawl back to the box they came from after taking too many jabs in a world plagued by a madness!
Reigning in so many minds bewildered by the fury of a mad man!
Spewing Truths,
Not meant to bring us any joy…

Nonetheless
For whatever reason,
Enduring each case of treason was a blessing given to me by the flick of every page in a journal soaked by ink and,
Tears flowing while I write another poem full of stories only God could have written the more I cross my T’s and,
Dot I’s by taking shots at all of my demon trying to stop my shine!
I’m,
Ready for any and everything!
Every time I step to a plate I’ve eyed for,
Too long to remember as I digress.
Into a slumber I need more than a waking breathe…
