Day 12: Fall Apart


I can’t fall apart,
Definitely not now.
Even though the wind is ripping my sails to shreds.
The horrendous storm is breaking in
And breaking up the decks
Of my soul.
I can feel the back recesses crumbling.
Forbidden darkness taking its toll.
Still I’m not giving in
To this haunting feeling,
My center of being will hold,
My weaknesses will conquer deterring strength.
Not now, when I’m this close,
Splicing splintered mental fragments
In this unsettling of everything rational.
If the degree of complications turn out to be unusual;
Even if my walls fall through,
Quitting will be the last thing I do.
