Mourning In The Morning
It's hard saying good morning when you're mourning
When the storming keeps coming and coming
Wanting to do nothing but stay under covers
In fetal positions as if yearning for mothers
When heartache seems to hover over head
After hearing that another loved one is dead
As you start seeing red in every portrait of life
From being fed up with the turmoil and strife
When your putty knife no longer conceals your holes
From where pain has managed to erode your soul
Striving to be whole is a death defying feat
Gotta remain bold and not fold in defeat
When the storming keeps coming and coming
Wanting to do nothing but stay under covers
In fetal positions as if yearning for mothers
When heartache seems to hover over head
After hearing that another loved one is dead
As you start seeing red in every portrait of life
From being fed up with the turmoil and strife
When your putty knife no longer conceals your holes
From where pain has managed to erode your soul
Striving to be whole is a death defying feat
Gotta remain bold and not fold in defeat

Sometimes you gotta stop patching the holes and replace the wall with stronger material that can't be damaged
Or make the perpetrator pay thru the nose, literally, for damages caused

Powerful and thought provoking piece very stimulating to the heart and soul and subconsciousness of the mind respect brother poet 🙏
I truly related to this, Damon. Having lost family members and friends over the course of this year, it's very difficult. The way you described it here is but a mere example of what we initially experience.

You just spoke on what I'm experiencing these days, the lost of 2 close relatives has made it hard for me to face the mornings with joy, but I raise anyway she would want it that way. Nice write on what has become normal these days.
Blessings 🙏🏾 My Brother
