Who Are The Damaged - Who Are The Broken?

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.

“Who am I?”

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.

I invite you to visit my Amazon Author Pages

Thank you,
