I felt pain today,
caused more than I felt
I’ve been riding along this crest of survival
and the foundation finally
faltered
I tumbled to the ground
my face planted in the mire of my reality
I found I have no place to go,
only the shelter of misery
woe is me?
No, this is truth,
I could not if I tried
pretend life any different
than lost solace, lost hope
the desolate nature of loneliness
is mine forever
in a cloudless night
the stars will only scream
rather than offer peace.
No peace,
no hope,
no.
