Catharsis.A Poem by Ben Lingemann
I am a
plenipotentiary of your heart but not your tongue Which whips with shout Inflicting all this doubt -- Try not to see my glaring mistakes when uncaring I am trumpeting arrogant aches. -- I became lost in channels of the self and now- I have smoothed out my spikes, inverted my aversions, diluted my delusions- I have incrementally expanded my positive mentality. I am the Xenolith within the conglomerate uncomfortable with chafing sand. Displaying dependability with the straightening of back, gone is lithe youth's unbecoming stand. I shall treat you, The Stranger- even stranger like family. I shall trust inappropriately and love exponentially. © 2011 Ben LingemannAuthor's Note
