Always

Inspiration my forever companion,

a cased shadow of the obscured ,my troubled

waters bearing the cross I carry.


Always

always writing

always writing of my missing heart

my lost ways and the hidden corners of a darkened soul.

Always writing of tormented people

strained faces,all my years

Always

Always

Always writing


Hand to my head each word is a razor blade

that cuts me until I bled.


conflict

vices

humiliation

Illusions

deceptions

scribbled sighs my reasons my lies

always

always

always writing.
