I need to cleanse myself
To purge my system
To clear these thoughts
To start over
Don’t do this to me
Don’t leave me all alone
Don’t say this to me
Don’t cast your first stone
Can’t you see I’m just
A little boy
Won’t you please
Allow me this one toy?

Run
Run, little one
Find your way to the sun
Take whatever you need
To get by if you feel
You need

Times like this
My mind begins to rot
There are things
I am convinced I am not
First I feel sanctified,
Then just mortified
I am now too stupid
To realize

Somebody please
Purify my flesh
Strip me down
Cleanse me

A good read on loneliness, especially corporeal loneliness.

There is flogging,
and then there is self-flagellation.

We are usually the worst jury and judge
of our own decisions and self.

As you love others, love yourself,
and know that you pen some good poetry,
even in the shadows.
