Because it’s necessary

Posted by Mo on 14 Dec 2010 in Poetry |

Here’s one of my latest… the tone alone should explain the lapse.

Here

i am here
i am here i am here i am here
but not the way you think
not on my terms and not in my heart and not in the way that lets me forget the shackles and weights that keep me pinned

but it counts…
it still fucking counts
because for as long as i am here, as long as i still breathe, as long as i can ignore, as long as i can endure

i can be counted courageous and brave and a Survivor but mostly
NOT a quitter

i am here
in body but not in mind
in mind i am in the endless valleys of death
of drear
of discontent
of dissatisfaction
but mostly of guilt because

i am here
in body but not in mind
because the endless valleys consume me and i let them
i let them
but for the love of god i don’t know why
