Abstention

Gambling with juggernauts
tiptoeing through quicksand
progressively sinking
losing command
 
Unresolved impressions
pouring in my head
like overflowing vodka shots
clamouring “be dead!”
 
Escape or assimilation
whispers crystal clear
taunting confessions
each presenting fear
 
Resilience in throws of battle
hardly the enemy
living in surrender
unknown destiny
 
Warring with both sides
pursue or flee?
non-partisanship
ironic tragedy
