This is a space where I have a mid life crisis, write about my creative journey, and talk about songwriting and share bits of terrible poetry.

Requiem

Written in

by

I don’t want to be here.
The pull of the grave is strong.
I’m not sure I can live through this
And all the things that are wrong.

My faith has been broken
It lays shattered on the floor
A million sharp pieces
That I will sweep up and store

Cut my fingers on the thin edges
My feet on broken glass.
It was really so fragile
But I thought it might last.

I don’t think it will ever go together again.
Not like it was before.
And without it I am grasping
Reeling, uncertain, unsure.

Righteous anger consumes
Burns right through my core.
I am not the same person
Who walked through that door.
