I fear that I’m
falling
out of favor
And part of me believes that it’s
okay
to be me
just because
Who else understands my mind
better
than this heart
these breaths
Apart from God alone
Independence from my
atrocities
now and forevermore
Rejoicing with the family I
know
In this summertime
while at home
The leaves fully green and
alert
to the sun’s perpetual
shine
I ought to care for my neighbor
next door
who hurts from hunger
and feels utterly
alone
I understand solitude better than
I used to, cousin
It feels dreary and dark allnightlong
I pray for you neighbor
your family and yours
For we are all connected in
disharmony
While it lasts
we last
