Let’s get to dusting knuckles for a bit. Every emotion has a place. Every emotion has varying degrees of intensity. This one? There’s some kind of struggle, I’d say. To my brothers and sisters who have lost their path… know that you make the path. The uncertainty is normal, and you’re going to be okay.

A Truth I Can’t Ignore
I’ve been waiting on a new life coming my way
Another sun, another harshdip, ready to pay
My irredeemable fire kept burning me out
My dedication took my everything before I could shout
“I’m on my own
Nothing for me here
I’m on my own
Might as well disappear.”
Sitting in my occupation
Leaving with a sigh
Waiting on a dessication
Waiting just to die
Tell me a reason life has more
Spell out a truth I can’t ignore
Fifty-three problems
Lifting up my eyes
I cuss and filth
My heritage
My blessings all disguised
But I never knew what
My hands could hold
The sinking sun would tell me
I haven’t seen my heart from the
Cold
Lift me
Lift me
Please believe me
I lost my way so long ago
With me
With me
Please believe me
I just can’t find my way home
I’ll suffer in silence just one more time
Waiting for a kind of friend
The kind of neighbor with a fire in his eye
He’s gonna help me find a better lie
