Summary:
Late night musing.

Drifting into a heavy fog of emotion

Old battles are made new over time

Mixed vibes of some random notion 

Soon thoughts will become a crime

 

Give misery an inch it’ll take a mile

This one will change the life we knew

Each passing day grows more hostile

Can’t outrun fate tightening the screw

 

Soulless monsters unable to feel at all

Getting off on the torment they spread

Smashing dreams with a wrecking ball 

Harvesting fear while planting dread

    1. Damian, I felt this in more ways than I can count.

      “ Give misery an inch it’ll take a mile

      This one will change the life we knew

      Each passing day grows more hostile

      Can’t outrun fate tightening the screw” — Whew. Talk about chills.. it makes me somber realizing how one can relate to our own experiences, but find peace in knowing I am not alone. Best wishes, my friend. We are in this fight together. xx

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, P.G. So glad you could relate to the write my friend. I loved that verse as well, yes we are in it together. Appreciate you.

    2. Damn if you didn’t encapsulate perfectly the world we’re trying to navigate now. If it’s not torpedoes from above, it’s landmines below. People having to go bankrupt putting food on the table while criminals feast in exalted places. I’d be riled up if it was so depressing. Another solid one, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. “If it’s not torpedoes from above, it’s landmines below.” that is a killer line. You should use that in a write. Once again you’re spot on. Appreciate you.
