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 ..............
