Headstall’s Reflections
Chapter 46 Soup of the Day
I can’t rally those thoughts to relieve
The baggage I have chosen to bear
Sorrow impedes the need to believe
And my shields are suffering from wear
Heavy doubts are the soup of the day
Swallowed down in stubborn denial
Of the hurt that is still aimed my way
Heaving remnants of bitterest bile
Yet I clutch at the straws in the wind
Deflecting till my mind becomes clear
Knowing all of my hopes have been pinned
On reluctant dreams harnessed by fear
In solitude I perch on my throne
Pondering all of those years long gone
There’s a thing I must do on my own
King no more, just a lonely old pawn
