My pen reveals my heart and my soul. That has not changed since 1989.
“Ah, I’d love to wear a rainbow every day, And tell the world that everything’s OK, But I’ll try to carry off a little darkness on my back, ‘Till things are brighter, I’m the Man In Black.”--Johnny Cash

Thin
Sometimes I feel things so sharply/
they bring a tear to my eye/
Every time someone says hello/
It means there will be a goodbye/
and it's no lie I have a tough time letting go/
and it's so fucking easy to cry/
the wrong things are the ones people know/
No one knew I was trying to die/
and I feel like there's an open wound somewhere/
under a rain of salt/
I can't seem to locate it anyplace or anywhere/
and that is no one's fault/
30 years ago, I had my ass kicked/
and no tear has been falling/
but light melancholy or a harsh word/
can have me crawling/
My skins so thin, I bet you can see through it/
but someone now is trying to find a way/
I believe in her, she wants to do it/
I feel less burn, my flesh much less frayed/
Because I don't want the hurt anymore/
I no longer have the strength to carry it/
She wants to take it off, hand it to me/
and watch me as I bury it.....
