Papi at We Drink has given us a fine prompt: Weakness. I will let you off easily this week with the form of your choice.
@)–>–>—
a weakness
a weakness
a failing in your knees
fumbling for excuses
to justify
or dignify
the fear
that
lies within…
a weakness
a failing in the spirit
pretending
that
courage is your virtue
by
using violence
to
project
onto
others
the weakness that you fear…
a weakness
hidden from yourself
which others plainly see…
but
the lies
you tell yourself
keeps you inside
your prison
and alone.
Very well expressed Bastet!
