Paramount

Revelry amidst platitudes
A champion
Gold medal in lettimg go
The past
Turbid and delicate
I drowned myself
Dark grey an scattered
A mess of a man
Sittting on potential
In volumes
Lookimg back i held
Myself so far back
I toppled
Crushed by
Anxiety
Wanting and the following depression
Lingering thoughts mingled with
Lonliness
Left bare
Folllowimg the leave of my support
It was then
I realized my ability to stamd
Did not hinge on anything
But me
Ive seen my past rrflection
Torn an bitter
Lashimg out
Hollow
I see my future
A man greetimg the tide
Tomorrow is behind me
The present ever greeting me
I will
Take a stand
Conquer my shortcomings
Tower over feelings of inadequacy
A giant among common men
Ever pressing
Ever improving
Never giving up
Not a hollow promise
A declaration
I found my resolve
Whilst facing every demon
I hesitated to confront
A genesis
Where i know my worth
Amongst mildewed dreams
An a sea of regrets
Honestly
I have learned from
The bitter taste left in my mouth
Broken hearted
A room derelict an unfurnished
I put the pieces back together
Proud of the scars
Detrimental lines criscross
A heart i forget i had
I changed like a fashion trend
Adapting to an ever changing climate
I pursue love
I do want a love
Sweet an innocent
Uncompromising
No if's
Just us
Beautiful and lasting
However
I know my path to self improvement
Takes the highest precedence
If i cant give myself
All of what i can be
I cant expect another
To do the same
Ive been my own worst enemy
Settling for a hole
Custom made for me
This is my story
Clad in all my sins
This is me
Crawlimg out
Greeting the landsca
An moving ever forward
