In the darker corners of my mind,
Lurks a hidden Poe
Wild and fighting,
And unkind
To Family, friends,
but mostly,
Foe.
The mask I wear, of gentleness,
Can only last so long..
The words I pray,
They do not rhyme
With curses
I bestow.
My Yin and Yang
Are out of touch,
My balance is unkind
To you and them
And to myself,
My inward eye seems blind.
I do have love,
And plenty then
For those who I deem friends
And try to love as Jesus taught
I try to make amends.
Forgiveness, is very hard
To really implement,
One day I can,
And then the next,
My Poe side strikes again.
I do not blame..
This is my life,
I recognize my darker side,
My prayers are honest, and I try..
But now
Is the time
To say :
Goodbye
