“Hollow Pins”

Sitting here an echo in the wind

like distant pins.

No feeling deep within.

A stabbing pain like knife blades

pressed upon my leather skin.

Shooting down my legs,

wishing I could run again.

Take a break,

No need to fake,

So much pain when I begin to live

again…

-CWH-

About the Creator

Corey W Harland

Titles and achievements fade,
Character is what endures.

Understand function, less dependent on instructions.

Understand systems, less dependent on precedent.

Manage risk, useful rather than reckless.
