-You are no better than who you lay with
-Pity most do not seem to understand this -Ultimately, it becomes just another disappointment -For which there is no ointment or cure -Save for a heart or mind willing to work with, not fight against, the lure -You catch, put it back, catch, put it back -Close inspections, key decisions, all to brief -Time helps decide which is or was worth the keep -How long can we endure the ones that break, faint, swim away? -We try a new cast, a new location -We change pieces of bait, change parts of ourselves -Is it luck? -Why do we even give a fuck? -So much doubt, so many routes -We fish because we desire sustenance -Fuel our soul, spiritually grow -Let go, release, breathe -It’s out of our hands if and when we receive -A blessing? A lesson? -How long do we maintain a levy with flood waters ever so heavy? -Fear of failing, buckling -Fear of washing away, crumbling -Losing the components that build the foundation, once a proud formation -Forcing everything on a course we know not what destination, raging current, no direction -Floating away as debris, a life without density -No tangible meaning, barely reason to continue struggling -Reflecting on what we possess and what is absent -Thinking we know but we don’t -Believing we will but we won’t
