A Loving Aversion

How do you compare to others are you grateful for what you tend is your life not what you imagined is anger a childhood friend Why tap the keys with bitterness does illusion light your stage what’s reflected in your mirror how authentic is this play Is perfection worth the measure vulnerability for just the tame are your sleepless nights no burden do your blankets shroud the pain Is defense the chosen weapon is your quiver filled with woes will you shoot those fiery arrows till your tide ebbs to a close Do you see what’s in the running will tomorrow ever come can you ascend to some contentment or will energy succumb Those doors slammed tight before you could you bust them with embrace alas, its life’s misjudgment to forever lose the taste
