TOOL FOR THE STONE BUILDER

Folder: 
JOURNAL #19

the anger

when disturbed

evaporates

eventually

time uses her

relentless crowbar

nobody escapes her

raw insistence

though the mystery of

the pain

is not quite revealed yet

still, justice shall prevail

even if only in the afters end

of this

I am ever always certain

quite fixed in my assertion

public and personal

though more so personal

I feel at this searing point

my bludgeon heart deems that

far the more important friends

care and can counter act

abandonment and rejection's

bitter sting

pending disaster is nullified

though hurt deeply

I survived

the mounting shame was flattened

and the insurmountable humiliation

overcame

others in my wary wake

shall rise above themselves

too

to follow suit

self love

the stone builder's of one's core

worth...............
