Timing:The Art of War

its
  as
     if
                 INCUBUS
IS SITTING BACK THERE JUST WAITING TO TORMENT ME

I
 MAY 
LOOK
      WOUNDED
but  its an ILLUSION

         THE GREAT MAN
what does He want all of a sudden  
                                              whats His game

i know His intentions are good but im TIRED of being protected

    A
      T
        C
          H
            I
              N
                G                   onto it may distort my memories
i try to let go but the fear paralyzes me
its a mixture of REALITY and FANTASY
                                 
                                       i havent REPRESSED any of it

the slate is CLEAR                        MENTAL STABILITY
                             PROPERLY PREPARED PATIENT

confirming my preconception that WE ARE ALL USELESS AND WEAK when we sleep

                                                VISCERALLY
 IM READY TO BEGIN
                                     THIS NEW JOURNEY

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 5/20/2009 1:02:00 PM There are times we all feel like life is "a misture of reality and fantasy," but you have taken this confused state to a new level in your excellent poem, Brandy. You are a strong woman who has had to deal with a lot in your past. How wonderful that you have emerged from this as a unique, creative voice who is capable of describing her feelings so well.
