Breaking
At some point we'll all break
under the dark weight of living..
from the purple hearted soldier
to the people of a wayward god
the circus strongman with
a muscle wasting disease
the plastic family melting away
sisters of the blistered rosary.
At some point we'll all break..
then we'll whisper desperate prayers
to a disappointed God.
This is our fractured fate
brave in the sunshine
curled in the shadows.
At some point we'll all break
under the black weight of living
under the pale wing of not living.
We'll all break...eventually.
