Cheers!

Behind steely eyes and half smiles, hides a deep psychic schism
Daily situations trigger flashbacks of childhood horrors
Tormentor’s misdeeds alive after years of absenteeism

Abused boys evolve into men imploding, exploding in callous immure
Learned helplessness infectious, authorities ignored multicolor signs
Healing snail paced, forever a victim of the vilely impure

Legalized narcotics fail to quell violent inward aggressions
Middle fingers to false protectors, pour shots of 100 proof liquor
Embracing alcohol's bliss, a respite from haunting trangressions

How do you keep your two selfs from colliding?

@orchidvirgo: there is no true separation. It is more of a synthesis of the two and finding a medium.
