Cage
Been turning myself to blue and green,
Trapping and locking myself in this fucking cage
Again
And I can't, I cannot, I will not
Let you in here.
Nothing more can rely on me.
And i will spend my days putting stoicism and serenity on pedestals,
And I will be hopeless and choked
And my heart will be lurching
And it passed right by me,
But I realise now that no hand is solid enough to hold on to
And i discredited everyone I knew who was wilfully present.
Such separation
Between my perceptions and my shackling
To the harsh and cold and unemotional truth,
and it leaves me reeling in the void between.

Cheers! To the Stoics! To Zeno! To Marcus Aurelius! Who write that we should avoid ourselves. We should avoid the poets. We should avoid the false nourishing sweet comfort at hopes table for unsalted truths. For the poets inventions however fragrant, aromatic, perfumed are in the end less digestible and more painful. Love is for poets...Leave it and resentment for them........Parenthetically, as a Stoic - I fail. No matter how armor clad the skin of my emotion, there is always an opening... Cheers!
Thanks for the read...
