Solace Found, Amends Left Deserted

Solace Found, Amends Left Deserted

If I had the courage of my father I'd paint the sky
and give my old wild young life another honest try
No other force sends me down this darkened path
of sadness, bitterness and empty forsaken wrath

Living in a state of despair as big as a mountain
if, if only bravery could I drink from a nearby fountain
The world would suddenly cease to be sad and blue
and I'd break these sad earthly chains just to get to you.. 

I simply do not try because I am so damn weak
hurting alone fearing to openly and honestly speak
These honest words you are reading quietly now
courage came silently to me and I know not how..... Robert L.  04-30-2014
