The Deep State of Blue

Looking down the rabbit hole peering into the deepest state of blue My tangled soul falls headlong into the abyss Nothing left to miss Ive dug my own hole to nowhere Left numb without concern or care Yet all these wasted years and salty tears Shattered hopes and petty fears Have made this hollow abyss my empty home And alone i find comfort being an outcast Living with a conscience trashed Accepting the sting of the accusors lash Waiting for the spreading numbness to take hold Breathing deep the dark and cold Expelling whats left of this crippled soul I become one with the deep state of blue Im not the man I thought i knew.

It's so hard when one can't believe in themselves. Carl, i remember this poem. I find it with gloom, and in due time, you will find the silver lining. Hugs, Linda
