Heart racing, made up situation anticipating
Feelings chasing, dread encasing
I return, rewind to the start, replaying the awful part.
When they said that, what did they actually mean?
Conversation misconstrued, I probably came across really rude!
Going...

And, being smart, I knew I’d be O.K.

And I...

In my family hate was a bad word
I took it all in 
Sometimes forgiving too easily
Yet here I am 
Hurting more than I can say
Because in my heart...

Seems easier to get 
Caught up in these evil

On automatic stuck between
A rock and a “hard”...

a piece of old barley bread.
While feeding on breakfast, I thought it most unjust
that yours was a warm one instead.

I made a decision tonight 
- to step out 
and quit my job
A job that I have for 20 years

As usual, I am not alone
We are not born alone

Postcards From Oblivion

I dreamed you reached out to me last night

Lost in a world of regrets and dejection
Struggling for an escape
But I am shackled between a rock and a hard place

Caught here in a pandemic
	state of suspended animation
	we gradually move towards
	comprehension of the old axiom,
	between a rock and a hard place
	as we hang here held between
	the jaws of the vice of survival.

	Indeed, times are as...

who’ll make it to The White House
who’ll get the final swing?
Drink, till it’s all over
take a round the world cruise

no hope US election blues.
