Vessel

A Poem by Tricia O'Brien

Once upon a time there was this insensitive vessel, this vessel was close minded and cold. No one's feelings meant anything. No one was worth time or effort. EVERYTHING was found to be wasteful and useless. Selfish and self involved. Drunk by self pity and doubt. Blind to anything real. Excuses and justifications filled the hazy air. This vessel was on a track that wasn't even level. Not a worry in the world you'd think, but this sad vessel really yearned for some kind of love, affection or attention that didn't include pain. This vessel was lonely and scared. The thought of admitting this was just too much to pursue.
Once upon a time there was this empty vessel that cared little for self and walked around with eyes shut. This vessel was lost and knew it but didn't have enough to try and fix, remove or change anything. This vessel would stay the same for decades. Clueless really. No one even knew how far gone this vessel became in such a short amount of time. This vessel questioned everything and trusted nothing. Guilt covered the vessels face. To admit defeat, never.
Once upon a time there was this vessel that was so strong and courageous it was ridiculous. This vessel faced each day with a new outlook and a new way of being better than the day before. This vessel was honest and kind. Soft and understanding. This vessel went out and about helping whom ever where ever and however, expecting nothing in return. This vessel was selfless and had a heart that was filled with nothing but solid hope, faith and peace. A mind so powerful and put to use to improve all. 
Once upon a time there was this vessel that wanted all that was foolish and empty. Exploding with such fake and unrealistic views. This vessel was angry constantly and really over nothing at all. This vessel would go out of the way to start trouble or antagonize others. This vessel fed off of others hardships and pains. This vessel will die alone and no one will even notice.
