‘Lead me from the ignorance to truth
Lead me from darkness to light
Lead me from death to immortality
Om peace, peace, peace’
‘Lead me from the ignorance to truth
Lead me from darkness to light
Lead me from death to immortality
Om peace, peace, peace’
(photo of where my son’s father broke into my apartment through the ceiling…one of many tragic events I was still working through when this happened…)
Broken Ceilings
I am isolated, I am alone,
Where my past brings back the terrors that come at night,
And I am a prisoner to the secrets of my own transgressions;
I live in the darkness,
Where the sun is reticent,
And naught of the existence I once had remains;
I can not find my way out of all the lies among the ruins,
Where I am blinded by delusions,
And the ceiling breaks, it’s caving in all around me;
I am a corpse, fragile, brittle, and weak,
Where my sacrifice was less than what fate would take,
And the murky watery graves are buried in the abyss beneath the surface;
I am lost, gone, ne’er to be seen again,
Where the burden I bear is too severe,
And my heart afflicted such that death is welcome, desirable;
Less to suffer, less to endure, less to sustain…in this life I am no longer living.
