Stuck somewhere left

Paul Leckner 1985 (Kansas)



Stuck somewhere left of lost and totally off course.
A sorta regretfull remorse of my course and actions, of how shit happened; how shit that I let happen happened to happen faster than I could grasp it...wreaked havoc.
Ive bled for days about it, like a stuck pig half crazed for days about it, and then I bled some more; six gills short.
I'm certainly sure it's in the past now... long past time I move past it.
Put pen to paper and recast this disaster.
Recapture my youth...
Write a new chapter capable of any finale and a new truth.
Remember...
You are never so lost that you can not find yourself.
Take care when reaching out, of who and what you speak about, you simply can't change some minds.
Deaf ears waste words.
You choose to waste your own time.
