ION INDIE MAGAZINE February 2015, Volume 9 | Page 89

To overcome this hurt that I feel. Ran thru the ringer and broken I'm well beyond the point of just ill. I'm still scarred from years ago. From my trip down the rabbit hole. Keep on walking Mr. Medicine man, There’s nothing here for you to do or say. Unless you plan to hang me out like a scarecrow, & frighten all the children away. Better think twice before you go There’s no coming back from the rabbit hole It’s a one-way trip Leading up to a fall. I don’t wanna relive I don’t wanna recall. Gonna mess around And lose your soul. Chasing them spirits Down that hole. What a treat this has been please take a moment to check out Sans Fear, you will not be disappointed!! On that note I leave you with a piece of chaos, fresh from my fractured mind. I would like to dedicate this piece to the inspirations at this stage of my life. I call it “This”. I hope you enjoy. THIS By Shawn Joseph Smiles stealing away Yesterday is never the same Empty thoughts traveled Pain comes unraveled Memories less travelled I have nothing left to give Barely even a reason to live Suffocating on the sand Hopelessly trying to be a man Realizing fate had a different plan This is only my final stand You--yes you there--reading this issue of ION Indie Magazine.
