Pen Name

I never preferred a pseudo name.  
What is there in it, to take a pen name, anyway? 
 
Truth is oftentimes the strongest reason  
to keep on striving, all by oneself, when  
 
Everyone leaves you, one by one,  
and you are left out there  
to linger more in pain, 
 
As life was not generous enough  
to let you go, or  
to honor your natural process of healing. 

 
Tears and life, all these nights of strife 
Are still trying desperately to find a pattern 
Where a love song will fit in, precise and perfect 
 
To fetch the gurgling sounds of becoming.
