You seem like a soldier who's lost his composure...

unceasingly,
you leave me with less .


and i refuse to be an altar for your inadequacies.
or your dumping ground for the infractions of others.
againstYOU.

i.am.not.them.
i am not them.
even on your grayest days i am not them.

so plot yourself
againstYOU.
i have neve acted your contender.

i wish. no. i plead you to be wary of RIPPyourLES.
for your ripples morph into tsunamis
more quickly than i can seek refuge from those words.

i am never your enemy.
i have always been in your
C O R
N
E
R


yours is not hestitation.
and it is without regret.

that i tell you i cannot wait upon this shore any l o n g e r.

i cannot build a fortress on quicksand.
i cannot build a home in you.
