Prior To
Prior To
Prior to
the birth of self confidence
(and wanting some pride)
there was the rigorous
battle my soul had to
face.
I’m not happy
about it.
The stains on pages of
paper,
the wasted gerunds,
and metaphors
make everything regarding
told history worse.
Prior to
survival is adaptation.
That which does not
adapt does not
survive, yet query of
true
adaptation when years
later the new erodes down,
slowly
the old?
The things in the
newspaper update
time daily; that is that.
Substantial facts
researched and presented
as the one singular
“Truth.”.
Become stacked for
recycling.
Prior to
understanding, I made
severe mistakes.
As a result, my soul-self
has died. But I never really
liked him anyway.
His time was due
to speak or lose the right
to yell.
