symbiosis

[saw]

what about the obligation to your self
hell, don't talk to me about your tolerance
for pain,...I'm talkin' about the self, the one
you keep locked up like a face in a jar

you know exactly what I'm talking about,
I told you I already know you can plant your lips
on the ass of the oppressor, I already know
you can juggle numerous unrelated batons

the question........Is
does that fill your cells
with sparkling new blood, or does it
only make you obedient

I know all about you, walked every step
in your shoes or out of them
on every single ember, and I know
the question for you was always

balance......as it should be
the proper proportions between
the teetering boulder of expected composure
and the real-life menacing Hard-Place

I know I know, it was always the symbiotic struggle
the love-hate between the water wings
of bobbing along on the surface....And
the beckoning sleep.....with the fishes

I know this
I was there....
and I'm here now,
so let me introduce myself

[goldenmyst]

Exponentially profound. You took me angling in some deep poetic waters. What a lovely mind spin.
