Letters In a Box

Tired of hearing; The names I've been called. Tired of baggage; That I've had to haul. Bunched up in circles; Living in ruts. The hostile’s aren't coming; but we're still breathing dust Once I captured a monarch; That was floating by me. Now I can't stop the bleeding; and I hope no one see's The foolish the jokers; Myself as the worst. Now treading through seasons; In a life that seems cursed.

Hi Leonard, this is a thought provoking piece. Love it! Has a gypsy feeling in the first verse, but the second has a melancholy air. Wishing you the best! Mikki
