about

A Life Lived is a companion piece (or cousin piece as I'd prefer to say) to You Are ME

Everyone has their story. We should not assume we know of someone's past. only because their present is what it is. With that in mind, A Life Lived is presented.

A man once had a very difficult childhood
He pulled himself out
And made himself into someone strong and reliable
He found love
Which manifested into a beautiful baby

One day
His love and his son died
Drunk driver
The man fell
And fell

Society kept rolling
The man was stuck
Heart broken
But bills are bills
Forgiveness lasts until the money runs out

The Man hates living on the streets
Waking up from nightmares
Waking up from dreams of his love’s face

He finds a way
To remove the pain
If only for hours
Relief, though
Is powerful

He lives
Within hallucination
Delirious from terror
That the pain may return

Years pass
The man
Finds places
He knew not existed
In the world
Within himself

The man
Wants to change
Become who he once was
Step by Step
He gets closer
Memories of better times
Both blessing and curse
