Beautiful Scars Poet Rhyme

Brick By Brick

Staring and comparing I find 
  condemnation in my purse-
No feeling inside healing as my 
      relinquishment gets worse.

Feed me, need me
     hug me then tug me-
Allow me to free thee
as I end up last.
Love me, shove me
       just don’t land above me-
Allow my decree to see thee
as I forget my awful past.

Lower than low as my conscience can’t
          remember-
I forget that I know this nonsense
             makes life no better.

I’m a wreck on the ground with no 
sanity around-
          I’m a speck that can’t be found,
as I have become homebound.

      Brick by brick I fell and stumbled,
trick by trick my story crumbled-
            Tucked and safe I find no mortality
stuck and faced with a death of totality.

Staring and comparing I find condemnation
   in my mind-
Not seeing or believing…
         a detached combination I find.
