Dependent
A dependent dependant is crippled without his crutch.
Leaning while I'm walking,
falling
while standing up.
Can't keep on firm footing,
face racing for the dust,
the dirt, grit, ground, gravel.
Down on it as if I grovel
before the supreme being
whose name is needing.
Which is feeding me weakness,
keeping me feeling helpless
like a feeble gene
incapable of breeding
While this supreme feeling,
being the majesty before which I am kneeling,
thrives
off my inability to maintain drive.
This sour pool of poison,
a paralyzing potion
leaving me petrified,
deprived
of motion
Only action I'm able of executing
is neurotically standing
in a numb stupor
managing only a notion
