DEFIANCE

DEFIANCE

A Poem by Bill Grimes Jr.

Thumbs up

Then slowly pointed inward

Rough day symptoms

Life long dilemma

 

Twisted incarnation

Writhing in the breeze

Some call it manic

Me

I call it real

 

Chronic pain

Abundant

My diabolic friend

No need to pretend

With me till the end

 

Bright city lights

Beacon of disaster

Haunting things to come

Blues

A point of view

 

Highs

Conquer lows

Acceptance softens blows

Not everybody knows

How to deal with the mirror

 

I smile in defiance

As I always have

To sleep would be a dream

Yes

Pun intended……….
