Remembering Apprehension

Remembering apprehension
How did we survive?
What was the point?
A ritual played out over and over
Yet we returned and tried again ..... and again
Until it was eventually decided, that was enough
Were we masochists?
Lovers of pain?
Was growth and wisdom in short supply?
It took decades to grow weary of futility
Leaving in its wake, multiple fractured souls
Temporarily mended during abbreviated periods of neutrality
Each time swearing never again
Yet the lure was too strong
Simmering passions ruled suspended lives
Until now
A subconscious decision
No further forcing conclusions
The alternative becoming reality
A life saving acceptance of terms
