Undermined
“Undermined” a poem
water flows through placement of stones and wears away the bottom base of land and cliffs ; attempts to weaken gradually or insidiously
letting water run through diluting what she knows is pure renouncing purpose, necessity, and clarity
illusion eluded her thoughtlessness
question & confusion mined under her intricacies
Insults undermined her confidence
no need to further tunnel or dig for her
who would she be?
how and why is she?
wonderers wandering wonderfully
and with little to no mind being little to know mine
scarce and afraid was she to surmise
she thought to give what she took and reflect her demise but she wouldn’t
so instead she bore what she couldn’t and wore what she wouldn’t during her thought to arise.
