Fifty Mental Pains of Darkness

fifty hard felt years of unwanted lingering pain 
wiggle there way into my involuntary intellect  
let me not, be standing in troubled waters 
let me be a harbor to my only self 
sailing free and carefree to the 
rocking of my own refugee
not bailing out cloudy, traumatized waters 
from a mental waterlogged
sailing boat of fears and devastation 
i (I) will push back 
as the door of healing someday permit 
but until then 
i (I) will beg the inter mental parts of me
to submit less
to darkness and pain 
and give into small lesser cares 
in a temp to save what 
can be saved 
love self as mush as one can 
and pray, and pray and pray 
because local politic is the new devil
