hello, my name is Conflicted.jpg

C O N F L I C T E D

Behavior;

Glacial

As arctic ice

Your language;

Fatal

Words that slice

Sadistic,

Narcissistic

Nerve;

My empathic

Calling

To subserve

To

Iron press

Your

Wrinkled ways

With

Antidotal

Starching sprays

To

Convalesce your

Malady;

Extract

Your evil

Cavity

Of Wickedness;

Depravity

That caused our

Family tragedy.

But

How to know

The difference

Of

Things that

Can change

With courage

And

Love,

Accept;

And turn away

Completely,

A bystander

Watching

Obliquely…

Or

Participate

Facilitate

Try to

Intervene

With fate

Demonstrate

How to

Navigate

The way

From crooked paths

To straight;

Cleanse your sight

From

Visceral lenses

That cost you

Exorbitant

Expenses

Can my

Love

Be

Your heart’s

Incentive

To change your

Kismet

Consequences;

Can my

Eucalyptus oil

Scented

Waves of

Hope

Revive your

Senses?

Disengage

What

Cannot change?

Stay in this fight

For the long range?

Revise

What I

Cannot accept?

Embrace neglect;

Or intercept

The repercussions

We’ve endured?

Leave it

For dead;

Or find

A cure?

Is all we’ve

Lost

Cursed to

Afflict you?

Should I

Concede..

Or try to

Fix you?
