    Alone again.

    Reflections of a Happy Man
    soaking six feet into sediment
    I am settlin' into a new mindstate,
    I am not great.
    Oh yes I have my flaws.
    Perfection gives me fits,
    So I am forced to fiddle with reality.

    Hope is at home snoring
    While frustration is coming down,
    Pouring.
    I try to outrun the depression;
    But look, its gaining on him.
    I try to dodge the tears;
    But look, its raining on him.

    Feet unfirmly planted in this muddy sand.
    Here I stand.
    I am what I am.
    No longer can I be,
    A Reflection of a happy man.

    Hard to keep the the facade intact when time and realizations settle in. 10 from me.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
