BUT FOR ONE INSANE SIN

Folder: 
JOURNAL #9

I've felt so very desperate so many times

and so often from denial such self cruelty derives

I can be held liable only for that of which I personally inflict

to you my methods may seem a bit direction less

or rather mad but they do at least seem to do the trick

a feeble way of getting off the ball you might say and

committing a most mild murder with the remaining stick

but believe me I'm not so self governed by my own private

agenda that I can not see the dog for the tick

note that from every mentally made wall there falls

at least one unexplained brick

every last thing in me shakes with the distorted knowledge

I have lying in my lap

and alas I have finally concluded like in one's face

comes a sudden slap

from the actual crux of the problem

myself I have some how brilliantly deluded

all my shattered misgivings of the past

I would gladly go through and sort again and again

if I thought for even a mastered moment that it would be

a fair and final trade off for this but one insane

sin

uncertainty ..............
