Crowded Emptiness

I… shut out myself
And the world
You… ignore the past
Say it won’t last
Some mistakes will not erase
Coloring all that I do and say
Empty heart and crowded mind
Won’t make it right
I… hang by a thread
Upside down
We… step off a ledge
Onto the edge
I lift my head
I clear my thoughts
And listen for words of saving grace
I’m letting go of all the skeletons I chase
We can co-exist
Living in the Crowded Emptiness
