John Patrick Robbins Aka Gonzo Poet Rhyme

Back In June

I once knew the man I used to be.
The poetic outlaw wild and forever free.

Now I look and cant belive my own reflection.
The ego at  times can be a wicked infection.

My own thoughts seem to fade with the promise of no return.
Has the road ended this fast?
Knowing myself theres so very much i need to still learn.


The music still plays but I no longer recall the tune.
Somewhere I belive I left my mind.
Back in june.
