Don't mind me...Monday poetry.

Lovely Little Liar

This is not a tale of defeat.
Head vs. heart.
Just finish what you start
Let it settle somewhere between
what should have been
what could have been
what could never be
No regrets

Where to hide...and abide...

Meet the mysterious traitor beating inside
like a roller coaster, blasting with the bass of a drum
A distant hum

Ba dum bum
Ba dum bum
Bad
Dumb
Bum

Back and forth with a fury 
Fuel the fire
Fear, dread, a fight in your head 
A fist to the face 
A twist to the fate
Suppress it.
Caress it. 
Tear it 
Beware, it's 
stronger than you. 

With flailing arms fighting back
internal attack
All the while, momentum...
This lovely little liar gains legs
sinewy, twirling, curling
strong, with a mischeivious grin
Growing its way through muscle and bone

I couldn't save it
Or try to behave it
So I drowned it
Pulled back
Retract. 
The mind says unearth it
It's worth it. 
Pull from the root
Soil and dust
Sweat if you must. 
No attack
Power back. 

Ba dum bum, ba dum bum
ba dum bum
