    Shards of Me




    I was once a proud man,

    But now I see not the point

    Numbing the anguish,

    Escaping reality,

    I roll another joint

     

    The music doesn’t ease me,

    Like it did once before

    I opened my heart,

    Exposed my soul,

    But left feeling of a whore

     

    I can hear you knocking,

    But haven’t the strength to make the door

    I close my mind,

    My perception refined,

    I am lost forevermore

     

    Once I was a happy man

    Young, careless, and free

    My emotions lay tattered,

    Love and hope shattered

    Into shards of unrecognizable debris

    There's an old gay cliche "The best were but a dream." that I think might be used here to describe the sad experiences you've related here. (I'm NOT saying that you're gay...not that there's anything wrong with being gay!) Nicely done.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
