it takes a lot of reading
repeating before reaching
surrender -
sleepless nights sweating in denial. denial
not a word we care often to visit, a poignant
reminder we're drowning well
in it...
going down ..
once...
and ego
now there is an Oscar
winning role, (inflated, elated, self-control)
pride ..p follows e, but not forget
manipulation...rearrangement
if we hurry no one
will see...a quick cover
the real me....going down
x's two
missed a few
moments, few meetings a
few morning kisses
...missing in action
reaction not good... forgiveness gets if-y, if-ier
self falls, crawls (not good) -
ego blown...torment that word begins....denial denied,
pride spelt without p - manipulate
- to late and we
going down - for
.. third time --know
that ones the killer
unless we expand our
vocabulary to include (S) word
Surrender....
