One.
A realization occurred - That I could be helpless. That control Is mere fragile illusion, And I was powerless.
Wow.
In unalterable denial, I had a delusion. That what I'd learned in survival, Somehow, Wasn't insane. That I wasn't sinking Under black-tar pain. But, the consequences Of pretending stacked up; My unreal defences, My life wrapped up In isolation, (A prison of my own making.) The pull of addiction's temptation, And complete separation From my body, from my soul. I was so committed To spiralling in My dysfunctional need for control Resulting in an intangible Wound. So I admitted My life had become unmanageable.
