Like a **** on a toilet seat

he was easily


*******.
It's one of MY sayings and as I commented on Anon's poem with it I thought I'd better safe guard it here.

I've invested time
Was it worth the while
In a darkened vile
I have held denial

And I let myself
Keep a burning hell
Made a prison cell
Where my body dwells

I can barely breathe
Every thought a sea
And I choke on heat
From the waves' debris

What have I let in
With an open grin
In a dance I spin
As I burn my skin

I am ashen gray
Like a night in day
Every word I say
Imitation  clay

Where there once was truth
I replaced with you
And I merely do
What you tell me to

In these chains I walk
Shackles tight, can't talk
Turn my mind to chalk
Let you pick the lock

Do you need more space
Rearrange my face
As I speculate
You've already claimed

And I know for sure
Even as it were
That in place of her
I've become a blur

This is a club scene poem, so
imagine classics from the nineties
and fearless girls drinking from beer tins-
this is that night you want to omit
and not remember,
this is every night you’ve had to dance
and not wanted to.*

He dropped his drink
for the red-bra-girl;
she thought it the rain,
but instead it were a wasted
drink down the cigarette drain.

Girls in Jack Daniels
who don’t like whiskey
nor dances,
nor the sting of alcohol
upon their tongue.

Can you tame your Ego?
Can you best your Shadow?
Can you be so humble as to understand that your perspective is only so valuable to yourself?
Can you acknowledge that your mental inertia doesn't translate into how right you are?

You may be a fanatic, but you serve only to discredit what shards of truth you may regurgitate.

He who speaks loudest is not necessarily most correct,
nor is he who speaks last.

Your Ego is the Slavedriver.
Your Shadow is the law which allows Slavery.
