saw a man wizened gray hairs askew skinny clothes leather jacket and skin carrying his most prized possession a carton of cigarettes sometimes life is reduced to the basics
see a woman in the mirror middleaged child face circles sunken like unwanted cargo under her eyes clutching her chocolate bar along with her cane down to the basics in the midst of depression
what are you grasping onto tonight a shot of tequila coke and rum hoping for that fuzzy happy warmth to make it all numb
maybe some pain pills you've been on them for years a romance novel that never ends in tears maybe you lift your hands and give it all to god or shop till you drop to stay out of an empty house
we all or most have our something to make it all right to fight back the pain in life get from darkness to light something to comfort something to warm something to draw hope from
