Morning collapses in coalition with Afternoon,
and finds me sitting with her company.
We’re each talking of storm-blue shadows,
trying to rise a milky mist of good emotion,
But instead it brings impotent examples
of how I mar life.
Many days in my life it an’t no mighty depression
which drives me down this road.
No, on days like these i’m hounded by knowing
how much I let people down,
unable to remove myself into their happiness.
I wonder if writing these words on paper,
gives me nihility unfound in my God’s absolution.
And when I next phone her, and hear her crying,
these words becomes another selfish act,
surpassed by the feelings of sisterhood.
I want to rush out to fight her demons.
It’s only a little thought which wonders,
if, I’d be fighting myself.
