work of insurrection
still holding myself to perfection


Deception
 
wields an "S" on my chest.
Super. Superlative.  Superb. 

"The Best?"
Well, yess.

but can't overachieve every day.
some days, you can only "watch and pray"

Faith without works is dead. 
But "works" won't quiet the worry in your head.

Worry robs today and sneaks past tomorrow
Each day has its own troubles; no need to borrow.

Stiff, staunch and still;
quiet like the wind.

Trying hard to grip the silence 
and begin it again.

Trust dominates an urgent desire;
the effort is high, as the need is dire.

Epicurious descent into pale,bended waves;
with a distant review of a stranger's face.

Strange to estranged,
deranged, rearranged 

and done.

From the well-suited to the righteous,
the sin braves the sun.

Instilled inception of a dream deferred;
wilted salvation of a prayer unheard.
