Poem by Brian Gorrell



You can cry if you want to
it's ok
I cried today
really hard like
a lost scared baby
On a street in front of strangers no less
not cathartic
not at all
Hot cop though.

Loneliness can attack at the best of times
and the worst
Shock can render one quite useless
for a spell or a touch or a moment in time
Deep sadness is normal I suppose
I am normal and deeply sad I suppose
So it must be normal I suppose
these feelings
desperate angst and self mutilation
without blades
just my mind

Nothing turns out as planned some say
always a twist to set you right others say
life can be really really hard they will tell you

Listen to them
