was a costly equanimity
I scavenged from the wars...

a lifetime spent, inventing ways
to close revolving doors...
mental health issues always come back around
it's about finding ways to, accept, recognise and deal with them,
sometimes, it's a piece of ****...other times....not so!
But, hey!..it is what it is......

I will walk through Hades with you.
Even through the scorching coals.
Even through the boiling heat.
I will walk right beside you.
Even when you're fallin apart.
Even when you can't walk any farther.
I will carry you through the fire.
Even if I get burned.
Because I've been through Hades before.

I will fight off the demons with you.
Even if there are too many to count.
I will guide you to the exit.
For I have been there before.
I know the way out.
It will be a difficult trip.
But I am ready.
I'm ready to fight alongside you.
Let's take this on together.

(If you are ever going through Hades, I will be right beside you no matter what.)

On the skywalk

I saw
Two men greet
Each other with smiles
On the crosswalk

I saw
A young man and young woman
Holding hands
On the sidewalk

I saw
An old man
Cradling a baby girl
On the boardwalk

I broke
From my pause
On the skywalk
