Six decades
Traveling through life
I have the scars
From childhood
And adulthood
Filled with
Loneliness
Death
And insecurity
Haunting me
Rumination...
Rooted in despair
Moments of joy
Like salve on a wound
That will not heal
My humility
Eats away at me
I am saddened
Heartbroken
And worn to the bone
This is a cycle
That I cannot break
Until my last breath
I am broken...
But not beaten
