Thomas King Poet Rhyme

Two Good Reasons

PT 1

Endless nights 
And desperate days 
Nothing seems to break 
This depressing haze

Of a life once cherished 
But now broken to hell
I can’t seem to escape from
This imprisoning cell

Lifeless and spent 
Are my nerves and my will 
I don’t even know 
If I’m able to feel

Desolate and bare 
My emotions are dead 
Nothing inside 
But this impending dread

Please give me a sign 
Or a glimpse of your face
To at least let me know 
I still have a place

Or offer me your hand 
And I’ll use all my might
To grasp it in mine 
And hold to it tight

Renew my torn heart 
And my wandering soul 
Fill it with life 
And a reason to grow old

I’ll trust in your kindness 
And praise I will give
For giving me just 
One reason to live


PT 2

My sanity’s back 
I can see clear again
Not wanting to return 
To that place I had been

It all was a lie 
A fake and a sham
It made me forget 
All who I am

I rejoice in my freedom
And sing life’s sweet song
For finding my way back 
To the place I belong

You showed me the meaning 
Of what life was meant for 
You gave me my wings 
So again I may soar

So straight to them I will fly 
For inside I have won
In realizing the reason 
Was two not just one,

It was the love and the need 
Of my two beloved sons
