Life's A Struggle For Everyone
I hope one day you
will understand,
without too much
prompting,
that they are battling
their own demons,
and are, perhaps,
holding up just a little better
and when they so they
can't give you a shoulder,
do not be bitter,
their shoulders are
too full to add an extra one,
you have to learn to
live alone, sometimes - most
of the times
I hope one day you learn,
They, too, crave a shoulder to lean on,
They are also overwhelmed by their daily struggles,
They are also trying to be strong,
They are going through the same things
as you,
And also crave a comforting shoulder

Pains
they appear to me, with dubious clarity,
You Weren't Blind
you weren't blind
you were just obstinate
perhaps in a sort of unhealthy way
about the ideal nature
of your life,
not knowing it hang on
a thin thread
and when it came
loose,
you thought you were flying
but you were plunging
into
an unforgiving abyss
of reality
when the doors came off its hinges,
you realized your blankets
couldn’t keep you warm

The Bleeding Soul
I carry with me the muffled voice
of a drowning man,
His voice grates my soul,
I often see his flailing arms,
as he bobs on the surface of water,
trying to catch some breaths
I will attend his funeral, lay a wreath
and try to muffle the sound of guilt
I'll merge my own guilt with
with the fake eulogies
I hope they'll cancel mine out
because I wouldn't survive an eternity
of grating guilt
and his muffled voice
I have enough of everything already
