"Dark Knight of the Soul"
A Sudden Awakening
“Dark Knight of the Soul” (6/12/2022)
I’m so entirely confused and feeling so used, why have I tolerated twenty-nine years of being abused?
Falling from the sky in the process of learning how to fly, holy shit- cherry pit, all my thoughts are so jumbled, every step I take is stumbled, a powerful voice yet feeling so mumbled, too many truths being revealed at once that I’ve damn-near tumbled, 1st down and ten.. the result on the play is parents need to be fumbled. (29yrs)
To the pride lands I’m running.. and I’ll be running far, like Simba off to find Scar, re-write the story stop-drop-and-don’t worry, I know it’s gotten heavy and everything’s blurry but breathe...
I can no longer lie to myself about things, I did my own research and braided the strings, all loving hate in the form of a bagillion bee stings, ding-dong-dings pterodactyl wings, your relationship is nothing but a lie and so are those rings.
My parents tell me that I won’t talk to them.. so… Hi… and now Goodbye, that’s literally all that I can do now forcing myself to try, so you do good job and try not to cry, little birdies aborting nest to be his best because let’s be honest this house-hold is a complete mess and it’s time to forge my own pathway unlike all the rest, oh and success isn’t graded like a test, but if it was… I got a fucking A because like Buzz in lightyears I’m on a fucking quest.
Two parents no support, 29 years ago could’ve pressed abort.
