The Foundation.

When you feel
those bloodshot eyes
sliding down your back
or the cold slithering hand
of another
busted relationship
brushing past your ear,
do you feel
scared
ambitious
or
lost?
I feel all and yet nothing
broken
and yet
I am rebuilt with each shattered brick--
a testament to who I was
and who I am
but
what will I become?

  2. Great description and metaphors. You leave the reader with a question. I don't know if we will ever be able to answer it.

  3. Are you ever gonna write again? or have you sold your soul to rock n' roll?
