This morning’s palest breath
Reminds me, dutifully
I was built to stand alone
Strength binding me with control
My own worst enemy

This sounds along the lines of something you wrote earlier this week in a comment to me, about stopping the struggle and letting your emotions come out. The last line in your poem is a powerful one. As John wrote in his comment, it happens to all of us.

Yeah? I guess it was fate that I write it down in a poem, I guess. I still believe it to be true, Gus. The all mighty power struggle within ourselves. Thanks for reminding me of our conversation. It shows that I am internally fighting myself…this poem proof. Now it’s about pinpointing the reasons for why I don’t let some parts of me out. Good stuff. We’re all growing, right? 🙂 Enjoy your night!

And I think you probably are doing a great job of it–though it can be hard. You do better than the professor, I’ll bet!

A great job? Oh, sometimes I think you have far too much confidence in me, Duketh. I’m pretty sure there is nothing I can do better than you. *smiles*

And I’m positive there is…so there we are then. Stuck, I say.

Ack, Aud. You had me until the last line. That was a real jarring phrase there.
