I’ve never known such absolute
loss and abandonment, as when
I decided to turn my back on
myself and become a better man.
With years spent purchasing
this loathsome persona; how
does one again find their comfort
of intimacy, when they themselves
become the stranger shied away
from a life ago? Shedding this
mindset, I clothe myself anew;
being fresh to attain grace now.
Forget sins of the other and measure
his folly well. I need not sink in
sands quick of time; but afresh
I pursue now the goals I know true.
