What Happens?

What happens when we all lose hope?  
When we stop believing that it'll all work out? 
What happens then? 

What happened to the boy who believed in you? 
But you let him down 
Again 
And
Again
Who is he now? 

What happened to everything you said you stood for? 
But when asked by someone besides me 
You let those pillars fall, 
Taking with them my respect for you.  

What happens in the end? 
When we all stop believing 
That something will happen, then 
What happens?

  • Yesterday

    yesterday 
    to you i was nine years old 
    with a black hurley hat 
    that never left my head 
    the hat that you would take 
    and try to hold it far above 
    my reach knowing i could never get it 

  • Seasons

    Summer nights

    Taste of sweet smoke

    Laughter and kindness

    The generosity of strangers

    The hopes of tomorrow

    And the struggles of a past day


     

    Fall days

    Feel the heat on your back
