just one plastic toy soldier carrying the weight of all he stands for.
geared up, armed and ready,
for just one tremendous effort, not even to walk, but to crawl.
held in place and rendered impotent,
by just one length of thin, disabling thread.
its very telling, when someone who's disappointed you so greatly can still bring you so close to tears over things you never really wanted to share. and when that someone whom you've thus put aside also inadvertently brings up a pertinent life issue that you're not ready to face alone, i'd say, thats when you can be positively certain - you're a failure.
yes, you. not me.
but is there really any distinction?
