Ode To The First One by liznificent(f): 10:30pm On Dec 01, 2017
My heart aches, yet numb as though on a full dose of anaesthetic
I'm tatooted from the many lessons of life
The sweet memories now nightmares
Haunting me all night & 'day'
The present, the slave master urging me 2 move on
Never to look back or turn Lot's wife
I missed YOU but life, a master
I fought to disobey but failed
It cut my Taurean excesses (big time)
You are not everything
But you are everything
You are real as real can be
You absorbed my fears
You armoured me up
Restated my identity to me
Pushed me out from the shelters
The shelters of self-doubt and depression
To battle the enemy within
From the ship of personality disorder
Into the dreaded ocean of greatness, you threw me
I swam, drown nearly
Nearly never killed, I survived
I stand today, I'm a survivor
You are a champion
Now the great Time had dished out its inescapable new status
Strangers left in our place
Looking at each other from across a distance
In the confinement of our egos.
