Embracive swells
Seismic shift
Tables flipped over

Jokers wild
*******
Had A ace up my sleeve

I wagered everything
To beat him
Antes slid to my side
Of the table

No longer does he
Hold all the cards

Removing sad layers
Brick by brick
**** it’s a chore

My enclosure becomes
Less adhesive
More adaptable

Locomotive on
Autopilot
Barreling through my head
Where it will stop

TBD

Park bench
Passerby’s could they
See me siting
Underneath my rooted tree

Life held me
Down like cinder blocks
An ally
To my foe

Knotted thoughts
That plied up
In the corner
Needed untying

The invasive thoughts
No longer trigger
My bad impulses that led

To enormous
Deflating challenges
Constant wars within
