Redemption

Shape-up!
Listen to your inner-self
You just might learn something!
For even she has made it apparent
to you that you are no more
than a glory fuck!
Redemption!
Don't act so surprised
you knew what you were
getting yourself into!
After all, you claim
to have thought this through.
But did you?
Did the night suffice?
Did the addict get his fix?
A shot of complexity
with a full dose of destruction.
How eloquent!
You sly-conniving fool!
What have you done?
Now you are in the middle
of what appears to be
nothing more than a pity-fuck!
Pity-fuck?
Yes, a pity-fuck!
You are not the victim of pity
because perhaps it is her
who is self-loathing
insecure and unsure
of what it is
that she requires
to fill her void.
She's lost
and you cannot save her
and that annoys you!
But you've even said it yourself
the only way a person will
ever be happy with themselves
is until they can learn
to love themselves.
Stop trying to be a hero!
You may be one with tangible situations
but not one like this!
Not now, not ever!
The only person that can be a hero
is the self.
The self gets' itself into precarious situations
therefore, the self must get itself out.
Alone!
Stop trying to understand everything
because you will fail miserably!!!!
You like to joke and say
"Oh, it makes for good writing...blah blah blah"
But you are wrong!
You're just as fucked as the rest of them!
If you run
you will find YOU!
Circle after circle
Lap after lap
Don't you ever get tired?!
