reject temptation

caught off guard, saying "sure"
when I should've seen red..
. what use is evolution?
I should have cut my ears off,
I should still.

damned demons, be gone -
temptation laid out in jeans:
i hate those shoes,
i hate my desire.

stability is only
insecurity upside-down
(i'm a little glad
i've given up being sad)
i like to think
predictive turbulence
will one day be known
as 'chaos spirituality'
(the trick is white wine
in moderate to medium doses)

you won't actually do it
you won't really try,
you're just mad,
and you need to cry:
the dreams I had
were destined to die.

temptation cloaks itself
as compromise, negotiation
: there is no answer but strength :
suffering must be utilized
when reward is unsuccessful.

the gift is rejection,
humiliation ... wrapped
like a child's present,
with a beautiful bow;
embrace the gift
for its life-saving
benefits,
and never let go.
