And If My Soul Is Crying

poem by: Carl Halling
Written on Nov 08, 2016

It's happening again,
Such unbearable pain, 
And if my soul is crying
As my heart is breaking, then that's fineâ€¦

I've let so many people down,
Lost so many beautiful opportunities
I feel so failed and forlorn,
But is that really such a tragedy?

Perhaps, rather, 
It's a positive thing,
Shouldn't a true artist be suffering?
At least I'm feeling somethingâ€¦

It's happening again,
Such unbearable pain, 
And if my soul is crying
As my heart is breaking, then that's fineâ€¦
