Losing Myself

December 1st, 2009 by J.R. Miller Leave a reply »

Losing a piece of myself
Losing a part that’s always been
Shedding a sliver of history
a slice of my heart, bone and skin

What’s left to lose?
Is half as worthy as the whole?
When will it end -
This painful peeling of my soul?

A broken misfit
in a fetal curl
A half-man crawling
in a whole man’s world

I fall, I ache
I break a bit at a time
I search … for strength
For reason and for rhyme

Where is that reason?
Tell me, where is that rhyme?

– Dave Young
