About this ebook

"What is the point of all this chaos and pain?" Finding answers isn't easy. Sometimes it may be downright hard but then, so is life, and that's what this book is all about. It is a collection of poems and essays about struggle, war, depression, religion, and all those other monsters that we hide inside our thoughts. Some ideas may be considered controversial. Others humorous. But, whatever else this book is, it is honest. Who knows, perhaps it can even aid in your pursuit of truth.

    Asleep (At the Wheel)

    Photo by pawan pandey on Pexels.com

    We used to see the lights

    through the windshield

    so clearly

    but now we say that we can see

    so much clearer than before

    as the rain washes over the window

    we used to search for answers

    like they are something worth knowing

    and ushering it into our lives

    but now we are so much smarter

    that we don’t ask any questions at all

    as the night collapses over our vision

    we used to live at peace with our passengers

    and even allowed love

    to prevent us from riding alone

    but now we have matured so much

    that we never look beyond ourselves

    we used to be content

    to drive the narrow road

    that led to the place we wanted to go

    but now we have spiraled into the ditch

    and we celebrate that we have found ourselves

    and we are where we’ve always

    wanted to be

    Witness Statement

    Photo by Dominika Kwiatkowska on Pexels.com

    It was easy to see that something was wrong

    in the dents

    and shattered glass

    scattered around the wreck

    I could see that the driver and the passenger were still there

    trapped in a prison of tortured metal

    arguing about whether to change the radio station

    so I walked over and offered to help

    but they said no

    the war was going fine without me

    and started to debate

    the best color of automotive paint

    and I couldn’t help but wonder if it all started when a mind wandered away from the road

    and a pair of eyes followed

    it is hard to see love

    in a life that has lost focus

    was all this rage about how to color over the damage relevant

    when the wheels of the car have fallen off

    and rolled to the bottom of the hill

    they are about to tumble down

    even as I watched it happen

    I couldn’t help but wonder

    when did this accident begin
