After My Shower


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.
