Let’s Wrestle

I am resilient — I wrote it down on paper.

I feel no safer; the statement feels no more true.

Let it stew — the thought remains inconceivable.

It feels more reasonable to disagree, and I do…

To take the hit anew and watch assurity taper.

⸻

I am pitiful — I allowed it to leak through;

But that’s what you do when the definition applies,

When you are not wise And cynicism prevails,

When mind and body fail and lies perpetually arise.

When you devise your own demise, you cannot refuse.
