Boiled Down

She said that everything gets
reduced to what one is
willing
and able to accept. I
didn’t want to
believe
this so it appears
she was ever so right.

People always seem to get
reduced to what we are
willing
and able to believe. I
simply cannot
accept
this as it smacks of
a willful delusion.

These verses are too structured,
my feelings in garrotte.
Willing
my mind to heed my soul, I
am inclined to
believe
he employs excuse …
and is
unable to
accept
me.
