Insecurities
Life sucks
when you are jobless
houseless
berefet of the foundations
on which you are buried
your edifice
I must get back to that
narrow road for the less travelled
and begin that journey home
Questions I ask inwardly
The answers I am afraid to seek out
in the confines of my soul
I bleed
every word
every gesture
take on a new dimensions
indecisions
have cost me dearly
But I'm not going to roll over and lie
I am seeking out those demons
and laying them to rest
and I can then live again.
