Saving Grace.

 "How are you?"

       Simply is not efficient

                    in the moment!


Can you hear me

               crisis worker?


Ambivalence can not see the hope

which lies on the streets of gold

she imagines in her head.


The Storm is manic-

                      ever so slightly scared.

Paranoid-

            delusions of grandeur.

Narcissism at its finest.


Honestly, Help can't handle

                  empty versions of stability.


Manic- in a panic

    dancing about the anger inside.


Everything on the shelf goes for a ride,

down to the floor, it tumbles.

                   Scores the wall.


Self is no longer in control.


Terror takes hold and so,

     her heart leaps inside a chest,

                                        a dead vessel.

Someone's dated bride.


Sick, we are sick!

Of her negligence

of her defense

         -defenselessness.


How does Ambivalence

         expect us to react?


Over 20 years of nonsense

         20 years of hearing

"You're not good enough

because I'm not good enough."

        20 years of

"You will never be

because I never was.”

       20 years of

"You suck

you little fuck."


So now Fate sees why

this credence has come over me

        -of anger to relish.


Self contained, I retain

the ability to come over the pain,


In my plight

     I have the right

to say goodbye,

          goodbye, goodbye.


I will never see you again.


Because Ambivalence

       is no good for me,

     and that is the plea

I have been crying

a lifetime.

 

 When the world sees

"I" as something elegant

          something quaint

          something nice.

Ambivalence sees destruction

in a pile of rubble

on the floor.


What more

could she want from me?


I am not an Ambivalent
