I’ve tried, but haven’t succeeded,
To let him know that I no longer need him.
My actions stand-alone than my words,
But I can’t make him undo his hold.
His presence disgusts me, makes me want to hurl,
Metastasizing in my grandfather was the horrific monster
The monster that has fought relentlessly to win mercilessly
Its grotesque figure has combatted many
From my granddad, to mother, to me

The still water ripples out
Air rushes against my frigid face
So still, the water, so calm. So unlike
the flight symptoms of running;
Pulsating through my veins.
The story of my life.

Relish the present even when tomorrow feels lost
To me it was a window, too frozen to defrost
What all once was would never be again
Meshed life nonsense, unravel back on friends
Here I am, once again
Sitting in the same place, same routine, same faces
I’ve mistaken a change in pace to be progress, a step out of this mess
I’m discouraged at the realization, no longer through the rearview mirror;
