Shadows cannot exist outside the light;
so dark projects the illusion of norm.
Ebony acquiesces to the night;
shadows cannot exist outside the light.
And yet, they're always there, just out of sight.
Only the light can give shadows their form;
shadows cannot exist outside the light,
so dark projects the illusion of norm.
Apprehension
acquiesces
to utter terror.
Defense mechanisms
engage.
Denial drips
from my pores.
Uncharted territory
shakes my
synapses.
Familiar armor
shunned,
I stand at the ready
with a new-found
arsenal.
Rounds of confidence
and shells of
self-worth
are the artillery needed
to face the looming battle
and retain proper
station while
parenting a teenager.
sin so seemingly harmless
offending no one
sloth hides behind selfish smiles
feigning pain or pitiful
preening and purring
inside it acquiesces
accepting of assistance
sighing it lays back
secure in the knowledge
others will carry its load
it is the knowing
which renders it so deadly
