I think I am going to take
a break from this life.
There is too much going on
that is causing me strife.
I need to find a quiet corner
where I am able to write.
Someplace unknown to me
where I can remain out of sight.
Then I will be able
to let my thoughts flow
without having to worry
about somewhere to go.
The solitude and peace
may raise my hopes
that I may be able
to get my life off the ropes.
The time will then come
when I am on the mend
and for my family I will send.
The 50 year old poet
