Wishing a truer vision of self expression that breaks the mold of concealment to face the costs of starkly truthful to restore confidence chipped, eroded to drain a bog of self doubt reason Resolved the splattered mess of sham posing ends my muffled cry, "Do it now" Kick start a rush that fills one's veins voicing faith that needs unearthing breaking fragments of hibernation Something happens we lose our way tightly wound plans fray Agitated self hits the pause button pandemic lethal from variants brutal Sign around my neck: "Do Not Disturb Self Improvement on Hiatus" Poem composed: January 29, 2021 (revised April 12th)
