i lay down
gently
resting my head on a pillow
downcast eyes ,
tonite
at peace
within my heart
oh, troubles still live
handed down from past generations
added to one's i have created
blemishes
under my skin
covered up
tried to drown
but the infection spread
so buried
i was pronounced
dead
by some from long ago
hell found
on my own
ragged edges
sewn
stitched into
belonging
to me
for ever
shards of glass
cuts
a different kind of deep
weep
laugh
disguised
barely recognized
a shabby soul
bargained
loaned
and sold
for tabs too high
been trying to steal it back
a finger wagging
no no
amigo
must be paid in full
as i pull my boots
on
bloody n muddy
kickin up roots
rise
woes
body blows
healing
bruises disappearing
ready to reach
each day with varying results
at peace
with
one through seven
there's a sunrise
and a heaven
