My head is full of reasons
why I am worth nothing,
an excuse of a man who
sees his future is rotting.
I have thrown away any
hope of surviving this onslaught
because I was too worried
about what others thought.
Why did I not concentrate
on my own life,
instead my inaction
led to the loss of my wife.
The only person who
had ever believed in me
left when she knew my demons
would never let me be free.
Now they are all I have
to keep me company
like the broken notes of
an unfinished symphony.
