There are an infinite number of ways, oft filled with disdain

When, selfishly, one will devour a human spirit, and conceal it

While trying to strangle those around, by using rope or chain

To climb higher, above the rest, til they can, no longer, heal it

I’m selfish
I try to let go
And find myself
Still hanging on
It’s not easy
You know
It becomes a part
Of oneself
Until it breaks
And breaks, again
The pieces falling
Haphazardly
Endlessly
And when I try
Hopelessly
To hang on to
What I never let go of
I find it’s really me
Falling apart
