MENTOR TO SUCCESS

Folder: 
JOURNAL #19

with such levels of Shakespearian outrage

I lash intolerantly back at my so beloved you

distraught by my own self absorbing faults

and quite lengthy it would seem such a list

rather casually careless of your comfort or

readied zeal

am I

for you to shruggingly dismiss all my heatedly

hurled forcefully foul accusations so freely

how can you stand for me to touch you in anyway

at all

your near contagious grin pours much needed

value into this embittered shell of me

even as I personally seem to be sabotaging my

very own soul

you my friend are obviously made of far, far

better stuff than I

its to the point where now in such knowing

I must confess

I cringe

forgive me of my massive idiocy and deep

disrespect

with but a warm whole enveloping hug

you , without even knowing it

challenge me to be

my well behaved better self

in essence

to be more like you

mentor to success in itself

calm, together  and far more loving

than even simple necessity can admit to

you are grace in its rarest physical form

true friends like you breath worth

into even the most undeserving souls

and they do so simply because thats what they

love to do most of all

and that my so beloved is you

is what I love most about you

your great ability to love even the least

lovable aspects of me..................
