My Twentieth Year - 12. tortured tolerance
Poem No. 30
I lie awake and spy
on visions of burnt dreams
flashing boldly in the empty sky
of my mind, bursting its seams…
To be anything less than a success
is to have failed totally;
not to go forward, but to regress
is to show your shame boastfully…
I've lost what I was going to say
but it doesn't matter, I'm sure,
for there'll be another day
of tortured tolerance with which to endure…
And I imagine I shall too.
Poem No. 31
I need a cure –
Does anyone know
The cure for self-contempt?
