I Will. I Will Not.

June 22nd is Friday next.

I will not allow
myself
the masochistic luxury of
guilt.

I will paste a
veneer of
courage
on my psyche.

I will not
wallow.
Well,
not much.

I will move
onward,
trudging toward
another
day.

I will not lose
myself
in
blame of my body,
blame of my soul.

I will, indeed, so many things.
I will not.
