This is the only reasons as to why
my varied distance remained unforeseen
in manners that even I, myself, cannot
easily explain; self escapement inside
these words scribed and, still life
maneuvers onward as if the sea became
an extension...
Mentally, insights were proclaimed
without prejudice although phrases
locked in concrete aren't moving.

Delving deep into yourself lately, aren't you?
This is a gripping and evocative write, my friend. Another perilous journey into the inner sanctum. Scares the hell out of me to do it, but it's captivating what we discover about ourselves. Great work!

I definitely enjoyed this read. Love the form. Is there a count or anything else beside the "CONFESSIONAL" part, or a no limit type thing. I like how you wrote it. Very nice. Thank you for entering the contest.
