Afraid to turn.
+
But I did and met no maker at all.
+
Only instead, reflections of a rippled self.
+
I may at last see myself as good
+
In a neutral pond unbiased and real
+
Depicting only what is true.
+
A distortion my hand has forced.
+
I have created the wake.
+
I may at last see myself as good.
+
Paint a false scenario.
+
My life has been a breach of contract and faith.
+
I kid myself.
+
Moving through self degradation.
+
I turn to you for appreciation.
+
So help me to help myself.
+
So help me to love myself.
