Damage Control
slowly he picks away at the shell of his swathing
enough shrouded persona
the charade had to retreat
masquerades are for fools
the wise man moves on
weapons of self-destruction have powerful aims
delusion deception survival
denial protection abidance
incisive forearmed scars
harmful mind’s blades
finally he cracks under rapid oncoming fire
looks into gun barrel’s shine
focusses on the target
cradles the trigger
lets go of the pain
