We pardon self, while waging wars

Such humiliation, guided through insanities, at loss to culture whys; to embarrass a mother, to humiliate a child, at woes to decipher illness: this miracle pain, as trekking white snow, where color is an intrusion; but long it lives, a product of hearts, a wife with kids; to harness forever, our childhood conflictions, wrestling with mother’s ways; this family of pains, dying for living, as smiling through turmoil; to have thwart a future, while painting love, while moving from joys to depressions: this heart of strains, knitted to mirrors, running while shifting backwards.  There was time to die, bleeding forgiveness, while frowned upon; this near escape, as never it was, bleeding humiliation: those tall tales, told through bias eyes, where education is mere laughter; to need for nothing, aside for personal thoughts, as measured by nodding glances. Oh this life, as never challenged, speeding through red lights; that district of ahs, while grandparents cringe, where daughters laugh hysterically; at moments for truths, those reasons for wars, a scar to an ego; this pyrrhic victory, as to lose so much, while palming a jaded gem; that type of influence, lacking variety, as want for graces; to impart chaos, this needed film, to falter by offsets; to station eternity, where able hearts meet, while all remain silent; this thing of graves, searching through humans forever, shaded by patterns of behavior: this midnight trail, groping for lanterns, to see it in an absent soul; where love is wanting, as never taught to love, where such is without definition. It becomes a phrase, as carrying little substance, where it lives as long as things run smoothly; but more to balance, this running from mirrors, as feeling humiliated. We drift this way, aware of proprieties, while haunted by regressive feelings; this place of nomads, roaming through islands, as not a need to settle; but all are secrets, as no one sees, as all are impressionable; this soul included, peering at sadness, without recourse to alter it: this sea of dragons; or leviathan’s lagoon; seeping into something tragic. We wonder for differences, as one with illness, as another, rightfully scarring souls; which, is pardoned, severed by chaos, slow to answer those yearnings? Our days are few, a mind filled with travesties, wrestling to smile. It’s a deep wound, as to feel loved, while peering at eyes we’ve destroyed. It becomes a curse, sectioned at turns, racing through addictions: this flurry of sadness, as it becomes resentfulness, where such becomes nonchalance; as running from home, from state to state, staring at our mirror’s home; this fatal event, that fragile sanity, if but a reason to believe: this thing of justice, or deep humiliation, steeped in universal debauchery: that casual affair, while with needs to offend, where one feels at home. Oh for irony, to hate offenses, while scarring a nation.

    The beat becomes sickness. A long crucible—a drilling ecstasy. I was losing focus, feeling forbidden, if to self, if to mirrors. So curs...
