Off Track - a Collaboration With Curtis Davis

I can feel the darkness trying to swallow me whole. Emotionally I'm a mess, and I feel I'm losing my soul! The pain just aches causing me to lose consciousness. So many mistakes and I never thought of the consequences. I'm absolutely alone, and I'm desperately trying to get back. A loneliness like I've never known, the day I stepped away from that track! Being confined has refined the mind to get back on track; Lack of affection produced a yearning desire, my fire requires freedom! Hope has kept me inspired, I'm seeking a wounded soul to mold; One who can hold my thoughts, I may obtain the antidote towards her pain. If she's out there, then maybe we can ride the train while we explain; How to get on the same track of happiness after all the sadness..... Note: I wrote first stanza. My brother in this struggle wrote the second stanza. To say "hey" to this fine poet you may write him at: Curtis Davis, P. O. Box 506, Maura NC 28554
