Description Break, now, you son of a bitch
Crack and crumble, begone
You wear your soul on the outside
Your pain on the inside
You haven’t cracked a smile in years
Break, and be done with it

Your eyes now old and weak
They see other worlds on the horizon
You trudge on, too tired to look back
Why won’t you break?
A wrinkle on your skin for every beer
Every smoke, every lost love

Break, you bastard, crumble to dust
You only fuck ghosts now, anyway
Scar tissue and boney fingers
Your soul is on backwards
Stitched up by madwomen’s hands
Break, and be done with it

Sometimes Epic can be sparseOkay… so my goal of posting a journal every day in October has been an epic fail.  I sometimes forget how busy October can be for me, but enough with my lame excuses, lets take a look at some fabulous artwork, shall we?

Great work, Ron.  I especially love the odd simplicity and strength of this line- Your soul is on backwards.

It rings back to childhood, being told that we're wearing something inside out, backwards, on the wrong foot.

Sometimes we, as writers, are too close to the work to notice that we do things like that.

Still popping pills every two or three hours for pain. Depression trying to get a foothold. Other than that, I'm peachy!

Brutally perfect.

Like trapping a spider
With bear trap
Covered in honey and lies

Except the legs are torn off
And the body remain

Fangs absent choice
But to poison naught but air

Thanks. The spider with a bear trap piece isn't bad, either.

Is it moral to say what a great piece this is, when such dark feelings emanate from it?

I don't know about the morality, but the sentiment is very welcome. Thank you.
