Mama Pajama

Trees are alive with color but they are dying on the inside.

It was so cold you see your breath in the air, and it was amazing to just be back home.

Give me the cold and wet northeast, you can keep the rest. Give me cold autumns and real halloween. Give me apples and pumpkin carving. I'v seen what the rest of the country has to offer and believe me brother it ain't got anything on my home sweet home.

Small talk is for small minds. Let's not fake the obvious, you don't care about a thing I'v told you ever. Cause I know if you did, you wouldn't ask me the same questions over and over again about things I'v told you a million times before.

"It's Hard to eat shit, without having Visions."

Even Ghosts get home sick. Sometimes I'm sure they get tried of haunting.

More and more each day, we surround ourselves with the trivial. Where's it gonna get you being trivial?

If I said I'm sorry to every heart I ever broke, my voice would be lost till I had gone gray.

I had someone ask me why I do the things I do. The best response I could give him was life's for living.

I'm excited to grow old. I wanna see what happens next.

Damaged, aren't we all?

She walked through the door with tears in her eyes. I can tell right away things haven't changed since I left. Wondering to myself, what could it be that this sweet lady did to deserve all this madness?

Her relationship is in shambles. Her family situation is destroyed. She honestly has nothing left.

To say she is at her wits end would be the understatement of the decade. So torn up inside, how she keeps herself from falling apart is nothing short of a miracle. A steady intake of antidepressants and coffee keep her from falling over daily.

So strange to see someone as fucked up as you are, but for entirely different reasons. You know you've been through hell. Seen you're fair share of blood and guts and doom and gloom. But so has this sweet little lady.

I offer her no words of comfort. No words need be spoken right now. I give my shoulder and embrace. I want to whisper everything is going to be alright, but we both know its all bullshit.

I let her weep. For now this is all I can offer. It comes to me all at once standing there:

Damaged, aren't we all?
