Just might be scripture


The weeks in between work, the months.
The days when all I can say is
-I am a writer,
My soul, my dead soul.

The days that are blank and un-inspired,
The thousands of more worthy!
I explain to them,
Over and over,
“my life is film!”
they say I have too high of an opinion of myself.
The could be right.

They write of soul
of love
of life
of holes

A friend once described my life as digging a hole and filling it back in.

A friend once said “you’re a fool.”

I can’t remember what I say…

Never did I say I want to be.
I did not ask to be born.
As far as I can remember
At least
At last hour of breath… maybe.

axanderdeath, if anyone says you have too high an opinion of yourself, they are wrong!
Good poem.
