    The Empty Ones Hope
    Darkness is my friend, pain is my master
    Look at my life, a private disaster
    So many years spent on wasted dreams
    So many women, I've come apart at the seams
    I've always thought I was free, I just had to pack
    But there's always something or someone that pulls you back
    Family means so much more now that I'm older
    Sometimes I feel the world heavy on my shoulder
    Nobody feels sorry for me, I like it that way
    I live to crush my spirit another day
    I look in disbelief at the ghosts I've created
    For they only know how long I've waited
    I was such a free spirit when I was young
    Now I feel as if my song has been sung
    I still have hope, what more is there?
    Someday I'll be happy, this I swear

    Why crush your spirit when you can expand it instead, life is not over at 40 but merely beginning you just have to get to another angle to see the possibilities. Interesting self-portrait.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
