“FEELING ANYTHING”
–
Why do the knees get bloodied
By rubbing and rubbing off skin…
Pulling out hair and sundry,
When one wants to pack it in?
–
Some people cut themselves
While other just chew their nails…
What does one do to awake the senses
When feeling for life fails?
–
Some hide and nurse self-pity
While others in a crowd explode…
Bringing one’s self out of an abyss
Is really a very rough road!

BACK FROM AN ABYSS
–
Three more days and I’m free,
From chajns that had hold of me…
God wiped out claims
On several games
I’ll bend my knee to Him, only!
–
The abyss in question: Ebay…
With regret for the people betrayed…
Too easy to fall
And spend it all,
My God loves me though He’s dismayed.
–
For the sake of a good life tasted,
So much money’s been wasted…
Big debts unpaid
The addict laid
Himself and family debt-pasted.
–Jonathan Caswell
