Reading through an old notebook of mine I found this, then wept.


      As part of my employment I have to ship documents to investors and as I fill out the Fedex slip I feel like that kid whose mom use to stand over him watching me fill out, god I don’t remember what, but I remember trembling and making a mistake and she would grab the paper tearing it up telling me what an idiot, what a loser I am and how I couldn’t for the life of me do anything right, I was just so fucking stupid, then another piece of paper would be put in front of me to fill out as she stood there waiting for me to expose the failure that I am. Sorry, didn’t mean to drag you into the nightmare that is john young, I don’t need to forgive her, I need to forgive myself for all the things I’ve done to “deal”.

          “How many beers does it take to drown the voices in my head?”

          “More than four”

          “That many?”

          “Yes, but you know your mom can breathe underwater”

          “But words are muffled, garbled, underwater”

          “This is true”

          “So I may still hear her, but not as clearly”

          “Drink on john young, drink on”

hope and david sitting in a tree

making music that agrees

with the souls of heaven’s exile

who talk to God just like a child

‘with me Lord i know you’re mad

but would you please still be my dad?

although my dad rejected me

will you love unconditionally?

cause if there’s something i must do

to be acceptable to you

then i’ll fail you like all the others’

oh how a child needs a mother

listen to me for i know

as a child grows and grows

if from their parents there’s disdain

then life and love will equal pain

for life is just a search for love

that some feel they’re not worthy of

‘why should you be different send me to hell’

tonight i’ve reached deep in the well

          and found nothing but sorrow
