  Feb 2023 Zara rain
Thomas W Case
There is a gravity to
sadness; it pulls me
downward into a
deep dark well.
I can't climb out.
It's my own private hell.
I pray for levitation.
I jump, only to fall.
I feel forgotten.

I put one foot in
front of the other,
and I will rise.
I move on.
Hope returns like
a long lost friend,
and I find my sanctuary.
I have 2 and a half weeks sober  I went to the hospital and had 2 withdraw seizures.  I fell and hit my head, I got a concussion and a small brain bleed, I am hopeful.

I need more heroes in my life
because it's lonely being the villain.

The fleeting life
...forever a chase

"This past year was a roller coaster ride through the nine realms of hell — but finally you found the emergency break."
You made it! Still live and kicking.

Lately, I have prayed
to both heaven and hell
to lend me the power of resurrection.
So I can **** him
over and over again.
Run ******* run...

South by Southwest
The wind blows across the bay
You say it's time to let it go
I turn to face the force
You're right , inside I know

I bend to the sand
let the grains run through my life
I stand straight , face my fate
Embrace the strife

Like a book overdue
A page ripped out
A heart mutilated
A charge turned to rout

The wind has increased
The clouds roll in
And I know what happens
to houses
Built on sand
