A poet writes of the yellow brick Road to the Wizard of Oz I’m grasping at straws Poetry of substance Worthy of a cause I’m Grasping at straws I read poetry without flaws I’m grasping at straws Poetry so deep in content, I am in awe I’m grasping at straws Poetry so reflective I have to take a pause Yet still I’m grasping at straws This is more than writer’s block My Acadian clock stopped My brother passed away I can’t find anything to say Can’t breathe I cry and pray Words betray my heart Numb my brother and I apart My Tears will stop life will be OK I hope today would be a better day I read poetry to fill the hole Until grief, depression loss lets me go Living moment, by moment is all I know A rebel without a cause I’m grasping at straws Inspired song Take this pain By Jake Banfield 2022
