I...

Yesterday

I found it a little harder

to pick up my pen

a little harder to smile at strangers

hand limp and heavy

eyelids dry and sagging

life’s **** sometimes

finding myself

caught somewhere between

catch twenty-two and murphy’s law

When did it all turn so dark?

 

ugh,

inspiration is a *****

 

And yes, Today

the pen is still made of lead

but my inspiration is stronger

and ink flows

 

This morning I sutured my open wounds

tears of blood staunched for now

soon, I wish, I hope

to stitch it all up

slap a clean bandage over it all

Pronounce it done

 

Tomorrow

or maybe years from now

it will fade to a scar, a memory

faint lines, a reminder

and not Reality
