Into a shadow
Of everything
I used to be
Another repetition
I'm losing weight
Not that I possessed
Any poundage to lose
I'm steadily withering
Quicker than ever
Without any hopes
Despite opportunities
NEW TO ME!
I'm becoming a --
GHOST
Not an aggressor
Merely a consequence
Of an aggressor's
Unstop-able behaviors
Regardless of my efforts --
Preventative measures
I am evolving --
Into a shadow
My wit is dwindling --
That quick smile
The quirky laughter
Nothing can coax --
ANYLONGER
The inquisitive nature --
Adventure seeking spheres
Of climbing adventures
Scaling and rappelling
Cavern depth exploring
Hungry and uninhibited
Rock hounding thrills
Crazed equestrian jaunts --
FLYING SO jubilantly
Nothing can motive --
Me ANYLONGER
My life once organized
Adequately arranged --
Poised for improvement
Despite everything awry --
Beyond my control
Is now spiraling
Oh, and somewhere --
In night's brush
He observes this
I am certain
And it excites him
I am positive
It simply enthralls him
To see these alterations!
Beyond his expectations!
I can imagine so
To watch the decline --
He equates with power:
Importance! Significance!
Justification! Evidence!?!
It urges him onward --
I can envision this
As a flesh eating bacteria --
Excites in its action
Within a new host
HE'S NO MORE --
AND NO LESS
He is repulsive --
In every detail
Of his being
WORTHLESS!
Nonetheless it remains --
UNFINISHED!
Sometimes the victim --
Someone like me,
The under-equipped --
The meek and the lost
The misread and recreated
S-T-I-L-L
Manages to survive!
