~Parable~

that hellish
shaky bridge
we all
have to
cross

add a
parable
shape up
don't ship
out
with all
the demons
I possess
I will
try
to tread that
good line

I seek
many things
before I
roll back
into
the ground

up to
me to find
any sense
that is proper
there has
to be
a way
around

I'll do
all I can
but I
can't make
any promises
in this
chaotic merry-go-round

if you
ever need
something from
me I
will meet
you half-way

the hairs
on the stems
of the icy violet
trembles like
sugary dark purple
tears
