of ascension
introspective, inspirational poem. autobiographical too. of course.
confidence(con) stripped(tripped) bare(bar)
my obsession(another session), downfall(ownfall)
parts, though no longer, me
my descension(senseless), my call
conscience(con) seared(red) bare(bar)
my deception(septic), recall
fragmented(rage), no longer, free
my revocation(action), stall(e)
abstinence(tine) unappealing(peel)
my addiction, not at all
compartments, of my life(lie),
my conviction(convict), stonewall(ton)
*
confidence(confide) recovered(cover)
my obsession, battle uphill(up)
pieces, though no longer, me, discarded(care)
my ascension(censor), my call
conscience(science) strengthened(end?)
my honesty(honey), brutal(vital)
fragmented, still - but free
my revocation(vocation), not stalled
abstinence, beautiful feeling
my addiction - not it all
compartments, opened, of my life
my conviction, stand tall
