No. 09 | REDEMPTION

He was confident yet unassuming.
He was my enemy but the only best friend I ever had.
He brought joy yet almost drowned me to sore.
He was honest and kind but knew how to fuck back.
He refused to give a shit but he was very observant.      
Sometimes he blows my mind and leaves me mystified with things hard to fathom.
He was a protector yet he had always been a child.
Maybe he was a little too selective but always decisive and just.
He could be scary and unpredictable but has chosen to be gentle and comforting.
Maybe he was difficult but I understood him.
He was just one of the puzzles we all try to figure out but he remained intangible.
From the profundity of my insanity, he tried to save me but somehow missed the path.
He may have lost his way and me the courage to stay
but I anticipate his redemption, and me, resolution.
For what it’s worth, it isn’t a fight without the bleed.
