Flu
If I offered an honest hand
in support
to another
Could I be salve ?
or would I be a raving influence ?

Certainly
I am not solved ..
Have I ditched enough of my sickly inclinations
to tackle another with some genuine ability ?

I approach someone
and offer help
I've sounded sincere
and they seem grateful
I circle my pupil
and begin :

Release the healing
Ideas bratting about the shop
glowing in bruises
Waving my limbs about
like a fitting conductor

I circle my pupil
An rapid expansion of flits and colours
A confuser
An eager fanatic of instruction and spells

Or...
A calming rake
farming a turf
for pupil to retake their life
A stiller
aiding in the simple breath

A promise
Paid back to existence

Abandoned once again
should've seen it coming
knew this would end
left with a short string.

Abandoned once again
by an authoritative figure
someone I was supposed to call
when I didn't know the answer.

Abandoned once again
by a person, I learned to trust
now I wonder if my
step work is a bust.

Abandoned once again
now I must do the work
to find another sponsor
and hope they're not a ****.

Hours. Days. Weeks.

I can’t get the time back
spent on a nintendo DS
talking to no one
lost to myself

Don’t even like playing
but being in another world
where I could control my life
kept me there for months

— The End —
