Purple Circles
As the stress and tension,
Continued to race
Down the scars of my life;
And conflict;
Like a cancer inside,
Irritated the ticking time bombs
In the back of my mind.
I crossed a distant line
Only I could reach
With finally understanding
Of my never amounting to anything
Feeling as manifested
In deserving where I belonged,
I embraced this evil host
Of my new home
And as stood motionless
Amidst my inner confusion,
This plague, like the Monster
At whose hands I'd suffered,
Convinced my soul
Was resigned
As forever frozen
But it was only after the rope
Had tightened around my neck;
When I grew cold.
