The old familiar feelings returns, Bring the destruction of my world. Taking the name of the weeping willow, I stand precariously as once in the past. From a distance, as a mountain in view, I am strong and together through and through. The closer he comes the more craggy and unsteady, With rocks falling I become. Professing my own stability I gave wasted words Of how tears shed is water mindlessly wasted. Now with no conscious control I waist my own water. Ashamed and disgusted my terror quickly turns to anger, Anger not at the cause of terror, But anger at my reaction. How quickly I revert back to the old quivering low self With its lack of self, respect, esteem, and Missed good cheer of optimism. |
