Fix This, Asshole
Folder:
2017 Guilt.
I've felt more than my fair share...
A silent assassin
when my secrets leave me off kilter
and brain vacates the superficial filler
I look back at the decisions of yesteryear
and scorn stupid errors of youth
mourn putrid terrors of truth
and watch the love morph from cold
to indifferent
to untold
Even in the present,
a love that must remain
wholly in fresh chains
the sorrow leaves no clean corner to abstain
leading to a path with abrupt stop signs
my onerous will tormented
(confined)
and that my head knows
that barrier's rightfully reinforced
Leading me to immediate conflict
seeding me the most agonizing element of all this...
Nobody held my hand and brought me here
No fingers to point
no wicked pill or leafy joint
...it's all on me
Yes,
it's all on me...
Sure, others can help dig me out
but standing upon their soil leaves me doubt, and earthen debt
and I'm not in the business of judging a fuckin' smoker
when I'm feverishly choking down my own cherry red cigarette
this is my shortcoming
this is my rehabilitation
to alter the narrative
from pitiful mindset to self-reconciliation
the change starts now.
the change must start now
be accountable
no caveats, no creative rationales
no passive-aggressive pining
no excavating another gateway canal
I know I can persevere, here...
Just fix this, asshole.

Re-Read The Re-Write
Rumination lives here and objective images that combined to form a matrix for staging a coup for human evolving. The imperitive to improve in spite of the barriers (self or other imposed) is the challenge for all of us. I do not smoke, do not do opiods, I owe no one tons of money, and no one wants to kill me. There is no escaping deteriorating health - as age rolls in, we unravel. Maximizing improvement annually requires a list. 1. eat veggies and fruits only for a month, 2. read more science fiction, fight and defeat guilt at 1:40 p.m. today, et al ...like that. Anti-growth is futile! Best wishes. - allets-
I guess I better start
I guess I better start compiling said list hehe, very true. With age comes wisdom but also more to endure...we all gotta find our own way out, at the end of the day, hopefully with the assistance of others. Like your help with this comment :) thanks as always
The cure lies in many youre
The cure lies in many youre not gonna like this on a mass scale. Ironically many of the systems in place that lead people here require a silent revolution to match the silent revolution already in full swing we are trapped.. only diversity and freedoms regulated by the agreed ultimate values lines that can not be crossed can save us . Fantastic write! I only dribble when hiven cause to think, well caused was i. Blessings Ss

An Affirmation
A self-directive - make it better. Try, fail, get up and fix it! - love this phenominal sequence:

yes, I'm definitely shooting
yes, I'm definitely shooting for a heavy dose of motivation in a critical way... I know more often than not for most the constructive criticism route is more productive but it just wasn't how I was feeling at the time. Either way, I've been feeling this guilt for a long, long time now and I am really happy to at least convey it with enough clarity to get my point across...thank you as always :)

very true, hopefully the motivation from everybody (including yourself) is to improve your life, one way or another. That's what I'm striving for, at least...either way, thanks for the comment take care

it certainly is, I've dealt
it certainly is, I've dealt with a couple secrets I never shared until less than a month ago when the guilt was really taking me to a dark place, and fortunately...when I confided in the people I confided in, the world didn't fall apart, and I was so relieved...but then I felt I put a burden on them, too. So this one's been complex to put down on paper, I've been tinkering with it for a couple days now and can't quite seem to hit the nail on the head with what I'm trying to convey...it'll get there...but either way, thank you for the feedback.
The poem is still good....

thank you very much, I'm sure
thank you very much, I'm sure if I keep chipping away at it I'll be happier with it eventually...all part of the writing process sometimes, thanks again
