CO-DEPENDENT CHAOSA Poem by Bill Grimes Jr.
Precious energy
Wasted pretense
Living a lie
Vain attempt
Defy who I was meant to be
Futile efforts
Desperado
Blind obsession
To fit man made molds
Groomed for success
Syndicated puppet
Deceived
Manipulative by dark forces
Logging endless miles on a corporate treadmill
Fast track to misery
Dominant ego
Self inflicted arrogance
Soul sickness
Choking on distorted truth
So eager to please
Sadly seeking approval from others
Co-dependent chaos
Awakened at the bottom
Black alcoholic stupor
I realized I was lost
Convicted by default
Arrogance
Fierce pride
Now discarded trappings
Reborn
Blessed emancipation
Sensitive euphoric awareness
Animated macramé of my life
Sturdy threads of complex realization
Delicate braids of woven grace
Work of art
My Father’s nimble fingers
Today
Resurrected for His purpose
I am free
