Wake up flat
Not happy
Not sad
No anticipation
No dread
The day will pass
No particular hurry
Absent urgency
Chained to valueless toil
The damaged shuffle
Scraping scraps of meager meaning
Tightly holding on
Courageous is the struggle
To maintain
To not take the step
To not become the broken
I write of the damaged and broken, because that is the norm.
For each person who overcomes their demons, there are hundreds, if not thousands, who do not.
It is their stories I tell.
I am an independent, self-published teller of tales, an author, as of yet, scarcely any renown.
However, as a storyteller, I know who I am, and with that persona, I am both confident and comfortable.

Thank you,
