The Path
TodayYesterdayAnd the day beforeI walked down a path of uncertainty Investing my time into the unknownBreathing the air that slowly killed my dream The smoke clings to my lungs as if to deprive themI gasp for airA slow death This dreamless night I’ve forgotten what the beautiful things look like.

Saturday Thoughts
I wrestle with my own mortality. Lost between the coming and going. My brain is in disarray and I find it hard to concentrate. It’s the depression. I wear it like a second skin now Close to my heart. I want to tell you something different this time I want to say that the medication…
