Fighting when locked down

Since the beginning of this lock down

My barriers have been brought down

Me and my own thoughts, no distractions of a route out.

No emotional cop outs.

memories with no crop outs

Learning more about myself like a class I can't drop out

Absorbing all of my wrongs, resolving all of my rights

Unpacking dark memories and turning on the lights

The shadows are in sight

Which gave me new insight

As I knuck cuz I'm bucked with demons ready fight

This moment is nothing nice

But this clarity could suffice

I'm rolling with these punches but I'm gonna need some ice.

Can I call it self infliction

Mental locked in submission

S&M not my kink but dammit I'm taking whippings

Biting and gritting

Me in my home with my writtens

Listing what I am missing

Solidify my convictions.
