When I go to sleep I place my rib cage under my bed My bones are heavy yet weightless This is not the place to be Burdened with a sorrow that devours me It wont be long and my heart will follow Pumping at the foot of my bed As I lay still and hear the beat I can feel the hesitation I can taste the defeat
We have winter here in the Upper Peninsula 6 months out of the year. This winter has taken its toll on me. We are suppose to get another storm tonight. So I guess I will write and try and defeat this old man winter.
