I Could Cry

(Closer – Kaskade)
Provider
“I am the matriarch for my lineage.”
Self Skew
“I have no idea how to get out from under the weight of self categoruzing when I am struggling to overcome so much and look haggard.
I’m not 40, back when I just reached a new prime – yet everything got dumped onto its head.
Since then, I’ve been in some version of a constant battle in a war that never seems to end.”

The Ex-Pat
“An ex had recently reconnected, picking up where he had left off – as if time and growth made up for damages and losses.
Although she still cared for and wanted the best for him, she knew firsthand that his values were his priority.
Knowing that she would always be low-ranking when it came to society, she abdicated their continuing.”
(Do You Like That – Sleep Token)

Ever go”

Locked Key
It is said that some things
Are better left unexplored
But some things gain strength
If left untended and suppressed
Subconscious
Something has over-extended
And it feels like I’m shrieking
Along the back inside my skin
As if fragile sanity’s cracking
That’s not a monkey riding
But an untamed demon!
Medical Visit
“What got into my eye?”
Pair Bonding
It is important to know
Where weak points exist
To focus on collaboration
For ensuring strengthening
The Bar
She did not really understand
Her mother’s love expression
Why wouldn’t she be supportive
Of the fiance making her happy?
How could she feel justified
Dismissing him offhandedly?
She claimed it was because
He was too young essentially
Sometimes the daughter thought
The root cause as type of jealousy
One thing for sure had been true
The younger man had weakened
Limited in navigation experience
He caved in to societal pounding
Which ultimately such pressures
Had him choose to break promise
Nurture Vs. Trauma
She could not handle monsters
For they enjoyed terrifying her
But when her child began seeing
Strangely-shaped night creatures
She asked her child’s perception
And learned these were friendly
So she encouraged explorations
Psychologically through artwork
Believing that healthy development
Bloomed exploring the subconscious
Whereas her own experience twisted
Because men had imprinted violence
Toppled
Her mother had been laughing
Haughtily scathingly righteous
To learn that her rejection had
Crushed her daughter’s suitor
I swear, sometimes it’s needed
That ego gets a hard checking
When it comes to protecting
The sacred bond of couples
