The Operative: Until...Prepare

Validation
when you need it
you're broken
when you want it
you're vulnerable

We seek salvation
without owning our sins
And with that loose thread
someone is likely to see
and give it a yank

Bear your soul
with half your head buried
in a thick, icy glass you drain --
need is superseded by want
for a costly refill

You can go a long time
between servings as if
you've been without love
and you will kill yourself inside
to get on the outside

No one has to own your sins
They will own you
if you let them
because you need
human contact, validation

But if you have pride
and experience
and have been tormented
from the weakest to the most manipulative
you stand back up, step away

brush yourself off
and go on a new mission
because self-fulfillment comes
from tormenting anyone who represents
those that took your life

you're alread dead
you have nothing to lose
pride as a motivator is fueled
by controlled rage inside a highly functioning mind
that never sleeps until...
