Poetic Thoughts - from John Lorton - by C.W. Pruitt II

posted: Oct. 05, 2023

Below is another poem from Glendale resident John Lorton:

I've been down before

But seldom quite this low

I'd like to run and hide;

But... Have nowhere to go!

When will this feeling pass

Only the good Lord knows

In this mental prison

Handcrafted just by me

What must I do!

To make everybody see

This is not the best

The best my life can be

I have worked for many years

To improve my mental state!

Even though I've come so far

The improvements are not great

Not great enough to let me be

Everything I want to be

Why can't the world see...

All I want is to be me

THE ONLY ME! THERE WILL EVER BE That alone is good enough for me

At least... as far as I can see.
