Insecure Sonnet

 

Coming to terms with instability

is hard

when all your thoughts and heartfelt memories

are scarred

and stained by circumstances you can’t change,

disturb,

or fight, or flip, forget, or rearrange

or curb,

crushing your peace—

your inner-self, your calm, your dignity

crushing your piece—

of everlasting shiftless sanity

     leaving nothing but a colossal mess

     of naked, bare, and exposed broken  ness
