Oh please.
Take care of me.
Let me put aside
Resentment and Vitriol
Outright defiance and denial.
And take all the devastating
Dualistic choices from me.
I need
Finally to rest
To detach
From the painstaking
Stake of every claim
So take all the brutal
Breaking burdens from me
I want
Just for once
To be weak,
Without shame
For the ease of it.
So Here I'm asking you please
Take care of me.
I wont ask again.
