Artiste’s Curse



Artiste’s Curse

See my weakness rise and it’s no surprise
My constant battle against me, a reprise
You get that half-year gap, but it’s a trap
I know the signs and then the decline

Am I two into one, the quantum expression?
At the same time in a surreal position
Fighting for suppression in volition
Always it breaks and it’s a slide back down

So I do and declare just once or twice
It’s me doing but my mind is telling
Alas, the urge towards, is the emotional filling
Once more the self-betrayal and then the guilt

When it’s early, it’s not too late to close the gate
Just once and, the calm returns
It’s easy now to think I’ve allayed
Will this time see me at last not be self-betrayed?
