Coping
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Vision salted by forced ignorance.
|
||
|
|
The barrier from emotional impotence.
|
||
|
|
Instinct's omission of life's facts.
|
||
|
|
The mission to smother, then suffocate,
|
||
|
|
any painful memory that permeates.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Feelings translated into physical action:
|
||
|
|
ticks or habits, pain or isolation.
|
||
|
|
Without reason: all a sly, mitigating reflex.
|
||
|
|
A coverup to censor real understanding...
|
||
|
|
Endless goose chase, a cycle reoccurring.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fissures dividing regulation and sincerity,
|
||
|
|
shifting decisions out of despite necessity.
|
||
|
|
Slipping out of control, patchwork compounds:
|
||
|
|
No more self - instead hollow, happy smiles.
|
||
|
|
In the end, we are all no more than fragile.
