Endless Exhaustion

I’m so embarrassed

So humiliated

This land

I once thought things could be different

Hopes, dreams and strange things

But nightmares broke through the fold

And all that glittered was never gold.

Times try the patience of a life lived

The wind in its graces is often not a friend.

There’s an iciness to the world and the frigid cold

Forces us to weigh upon realities we never should

And if there was a way to change the pain and

Circulate a love that transcends all of this

I wonder if we could reach for it?

Tears fall in silent weep

Because breaths are so precious to keep

Tongues tied by what one wished to say

But puts off for another day

Then when the circle rotates back to a place

We all turn to lack

The people are left questioning

So embarrassing.

So deafening
