Poems and Short Quips - 18. Delusions of Unworthiness
You lay prone before me
atonement dripping like wine
your intentions to be good oft shadowed
by the noose of self-doubt you choke on
despite my efforts to permanently remove it.
We circle one another in uncertainty
like specters dancing through flames -
me, tightening wrists to ward off your fears
you, resisting their release with delusions
of your unworthiness to be redeemed.
The positive steps we take forward
are inevitably trounced by your stumbles,
yet I will continue to pick you up, dust you off
set you back on solid ground
because this journey is far from over.
Thank you for reading.
