Kyle Perkins Poet Bio

The Sundering

Down this lonely road I walked
No one in sight to speak to
So to my mind I began to talk
"What's wrong with you?"

"I cannot love, I cannot function"
Responded my mind to me
"You are coming to a junction"
A junction? I did not see.

"Choose one or the other
The Good or the Bad
Be good to your mother
Be good to your dad"

"Or choose the life of drugs and pain
To fruitless happiness will this lead you
Then watch your life begin to wane
So Kyle, what will you do?"

"I'll choose the life of good
I just need a bit of a nudge
I'd choose it now if I could
But my mind is filled with sludge"

"This sobriety will do you good," Said my mind
I was beginning to wonder
If my life would evolve from this daily grind
Or would my life be sundered

By the toxins and the people around me
The quest set before me was strenuous
But now I finally wanted to see
Even though my relationships would become tenuous

"Life will go on" My mind explained
My heart filled with hope and wonder
"I'm glad from this drug I refrained
For if I didn't, my life would be sundered"
