After my shower I lay on my bed
wondering why depression is visiting again
my life is on track and I'm living my fame
but somehow I'm stuck in this purple-haze
My mind starts to wander about cousin Andre'
he put a rifle in his mouth
while he was in college
then my thoughts switched to Phyliss Hyman
and how suicide took such a beautiful diamond
The Cadman Wall was my last printed thought
love is something I have always fought
The grand spirit reminds me of a scripture not to fear
cause Jesus the Christ will always be near
Sometimes I wonder if these prints will be
the gift GOD gave me as my legacy
Now I feel better, this was my release
I should use these thoughts in my next piece.
