the thief is me

took me awhile to see when i take from you, i take from me

the things i do in defense don’t keep me safe they dig a trench and i’m the one who falls

this modern approach to right and wrong would have us to believe there are various stages to the process and often that’s true , however that doesn’t determine the initial question is it right or wrong………..often used as a diversion, the truth may hibernate but it never dies

so all actions, not some,all, that inflict conflict or pain, that takes another’s joy to support mine, degrade or condescend take away and give nothing in return

is the equivalent of stealing from myself

so when i’m missing something that matters, i know who took it………………………………………………………………………….me
