Poem of Conflict

Pride in hand I come unto this world Not knowing what to say, what to do Overflowing with new found glee Freedom at what it feels like to be truly me. Hours pass, incentive grows faint Longing to requite relief expounds new reality Memory reminds me, she said, "If you care," Forced out onto this ledge alone I took the dare. One single remembrance, faded now Bursts clear to frontal lobe, in sadness unfair "I've sacrificed everything for your love to forsake me!" I guess what goes around comes around my love. Please forgive. In defiant hesitation I repent of all repentances Take it all back to confront it forever anew Remember everything to a season, everything has its purpose And on this seasoned road I can only begin this process of forgetting you.
