A gorillas existential crisis

self doubt

I can’t let you bring me

back down

you don’t even try

just your words

your existence

makes me frown

it’s not that I’m angry

I’m not

I’m just full of fuck

and I’m trying to

get rid of the push and pull

factor

you are my resistance

to recovery

you are the insistence

I lack courage

You are the eyes

That say, “he can’t do this.”

You reflect

My own thoughts of me

Trying to stand at ease after a storm

Trying to stand at ease after a storm
looking to the sky
as if the answers will be written in the horizon
nothing is crystal clear
And if any man should doubt me, Rudyard Kipling
Says I should still preserve
But what if the man who doubts me
Is the one staring back in the mirror?
