They tell you to write what you know
But I\u2019m tired of that story
I don\u2019t want to feel this pain and frustration
Pouring it out on the page does little
To ease the creeping anxiety
This world was a whole lot brighter
Not so very long ago
But I can\u2019t bring that back
I\u2019m stuck here on the dark
And when you only want to help people
Spreading angst doesn\u2019t seem very helpful
There\u2019s enough of that out there
But it\u2019s all I\u2019ve got to give now
Beautiful, terrible words
The essence of where my head\u2019s at
I try to fix what\u2019s broken in others
But can\u2019t seem to repair myself
So what can I do
But keep spreading these words
Out over the ages
And hope that someday something clicks
And I can sow a little more joy
And a little less sorrow<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
