+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.
