face to the wind

the drunk poets

and writers.

the pill takers, the drugs,

the suicide

longings,

the deep dark depressions.

dragging

themselves to the pen

or typewriter,

wailing about their life,

wanting it

to end.

to hell with that i say.

there's too much good

in the world.

make love. make friends.

leave the blues

to the ink.

get up, get going,

face to the wind.
