VICARIOUS RECIPROCATION

I struggle with self-degradation,

Internal humiliation.

My pride erodes in distortion,

An eloquently granted proportion.

The pain from cerebral abrasion

Follows limbic invasion.

My heart’s supplication,

Is only fickle propagation.

I have no hesitation

Towards playful penetration,

So I sit in mesmerization

At my somber inclination. 

Into such tumulting immersion

Begets but mental perversion.

First falls protection

From apical inflection,

That is emotive aggression

Against proper discretion,

Then comes what lacks expression:

Episodic depression.
