inspired by a friend's journal; surprisingly, the resonance with my life is amazing...

twelve-eighteen
today's zenith illuminates nothing
tethered to your blindness
I am the equal of my past glory
and the promise dwelling in my soul
even though you see only today's hellish spiral...
exhaustion, unquestioned, is my prison today
I crawl to the balcony facing north
no friendly shadows disturb the cold white light
I feel my breath waning
your ropes refuse my cantering
consumed by your icy judgment
that my life must remain corralled in arid pity

can you not dream for me
following my stride
confident that I will lead you onto
the lush plains of my future
