Martyrs and Maniacs

Before I’ve come undone
Before it’s all over
Before there’s nothing left
Before I’m gone
Tell me something
Something worth my time
Time to say what’s right
Right before my eyes
Before I’m taken
Before I’m lost
Before I’m empty
Before I’m dead
Save me from my lies
Lies just make things wrong
Wrong path chosen
Chosen out of grief
After my last chance
After my last breath
After I fall
After I die
Don’t hate the world for long
Long live the idea not the man
Man has a time to die
Die with grace
After my eyes close
After my heart stops
After the dirt falls
After I’m buried
Keep in your heart the love
Love and let that guide
Guide you from the disaster of

Lifting the Curtain to a Successful Month
April has been a fantastic month for me in terms of writing endeavors. I’d like to share what’s been so great about it just as many other writers would do. Share successes. I’ve noticed other writers or artists have shared successes and when you just see the snippet of their success, it appears everything has been going right for them all along. But we haven’t seen behind the curtain, we haven’t seen their hard work and their failures and those months that were fraught with disappointment. In everyone’s case, it’s far from the truth. But for the outside observer it isn’t always apparent.
