Stop!
I have no voice right now
I seek no judgment just acknowledgement
Of my humanity in mortal accoutrement

I seek no explanation
I seek no apology
Just understand my agony

I trusted, yes, put my name on the line
So do not give me your reasons
They simply explain the seasons

I seek this hole in which I huddle
Its dankness holds me in a cuddle
It shields me from reality
It protects me from insanity

Abject Surrender
How much hope should I carry
My soul is tired and weary
I have cried as much I could
Were insanity wine, drink I would

How many stations should I walk
My back is sore, I cannot talk
I've done nothing wrong
You won't even hear my song

The blood that trickles from my eye
Does not seem to wash my stye
Thoughts that burn my mind at stake
As they look for answers or a mistake

So if the cup is full I beg,
Face to the ground on bended leg
Release me and let me die
Wretched, torn, no justice on which to rely

I Hope
I hope that when you awake tomorrow
You will let go of all our sorrow
And with the dawn of day
You will smile and you will play

I hope that you go where diamonds are sold
And look for platinum, rings of gold
Where things are held in a different view
And character binds muscle and sinew

I hope that you retain hope and belief
Wash away all your grief
Let the sunshine weave within a spiders thread
Iridescence and joy on your morning bed
