Not That I (2)
"Not that I didn't receive
The calls that they had given
It's just that I am distracted
Of my desires, trauma,
And weakness

Not that I didn't hear
All their whisphers of caring counsel
It's just that it's hard to handle myself
Being indecisive
I'm shaped by the hot and cold people -
Impulsive
Passive, Dismissive , Aggressive
Chaotic household and dysfunctional roof
Depressive!

Not that I didn't read
All the wise's words of wisdom
Must-have , Must-heed
It's just that I was surrounded by
Filthy environments and habits

Not that I didn't recall
All the cutting corrections I had before
It's just that I want to be disciplined
Without them degrading me to the core

Not that I didn't receive their concern calls
It's just that my excuses, alibis, denials
Are way louder
And these are all haven't yet defeated
By my whisphering self-awareness;
And time itself is a factor
To really get out of these messes"
