Restraining To Make Right
Not cruising the bar to make a mark, not following them
to the connect, nor them to the distributor. It takes
every inch of my worth to not take from them, to end
their game and make off with my reward for doing away
with those that could care less about anyone and make
my way to you. Someone worth caring for, and I do.
That is why I am restraining to make right. Because love
isn’t about doing stupid shit to simply be there and hold
your hand while you bravely suffer. No, you’re showing
me why it’s about being there by being here now, without
selfish, fearful want and be the man you believe in, and
take it. Take the fear, take the hurt, take the suffering…
and turn it into you and I laying in a Florentine field of
lavender and we, without remorse, without mistake.
With the good choices and best of our patience.

Hey thanks for catching that!
This year and last, the major publications are looking for this style of form. Though considered widely as free verse, they actually do judge this format as stream of thought. :-)
I'm really glad you're enjoying it, my better half is very ill right now and a couple thousand miles away...
Though I don't do those negative things at the top, I am quite capable of doing them.
It's only been in the last 10 years or so that I have surrendered those criminal ideals and moved into what is real, what is genuine self-respect and caring.
Ans THAT is why she loves me, I have and am turning into a better me. :-)
Thanks, you.
