Holes
We’ve all got holes,
busted soles
On the mend or
waiting for the end
I’ve been burned,
slowly churned
Played like a ballad,
tossed like a salad
Too many times
I looked for rhymes
Words with no meaning,
thoughts with no feeling
What it might be
I can’t see
Blind interest,
hoping for the best
What happened to me
should not be
I was hypnotized
by those who sympathized
Alone on a shelf,
I’m by myself
Road to recovery
or is it discovery
When it’s all done
maybe I’ve won
What nobody wants,
to be in front
Of the line to nowhere,
with people who don’t care
Both are friendless,
both are endless
I’ve got holes,
a busted sole
Near the end
or on the mend
