So much for life.
When I say this it's not a way of starting to say my goodbyes to this world. But as much as saying goodbye to me.
You know I've heard it all you're strong you're beautiful you're smart.
Yeah I know it - hell look at me - you'd be strong to if everything you knew was snatched away - not so much snatched but offered up on a plate like Sunday dinners, warm hugs and I love yous.
Man. I used to be like magic. No music. Those old school songs that replay in your mind over and over like cleaning day some Billie Holiday - no some Luther. Luther knew what to say. Followed by some Anita Baker and Patti Labelle. Soul music. That takes you back to a simpler time when everything felt right.
Now I am like stone on the coast of an island that is long forgotten about - cold and hard. But when the sunlight touches my skin I shimmer and glimmer - for a second - and in that second you see that beauty that once was before I go dull and blank again.
