Stumbling

Defined as nothing other than sheer,
what else do you say about this mess? 
Whittled down only resilience is left. 

When all you see is a cold shoulder left 
that next move never comes off sheer.
Your insides are now a four letter mess.

 Regardless of this unpredicted mess, 
there was so much raw intensity left.
Courage wrapped in passion so sheer.

Stumbling in this sheer mess I never left.
