KeymasterA Poem by Max Whipple IIISelf destruction, denial and depressionI creep along the bottom of my cell the cell in which I am trapped the cell for which I have the key the key that's trapped inside myself tearing myself open to grab it destroying what I am not ..to rebuild as I am is it sanity to accept my insanity ..or insane to deny the obvious when I wrote this test did I have the answers ..or did I feign the success to forget the truth the same songs play the same memories burn who was I when I was not me when I was not this when I thought I knew can I progress through regression can I regress to move on I can't go back I can't look forward I can only look back and move forward trying to learn what I've unlearned trying to practice what I can't preach because I don't know ..and I can't see who I am or where I'll be only what I am not and where I am inside my cell the cell in which I am trapped the cell for which I have the key a key I've lost inside myself guarding myself to hide it destroying what I am to rebuild as I am not © 2013 Max Whipple III |
