Excerpt from "Reason to Believe"

You missed 30 calls from concerned in-laws
Checkin' to see if this time you're lost
You wonder how your calloused heart
Sees good fortune and counts the cost

A splash of water in a dirty sink
A bit to wash and a bit to drink
The haggard look in the mirror says
It's never quite as bad…as bad as you think

Verse 2 of “Reason to Believe” 
circa 2018 Los Angeles, CA

Sometimes you find beautiful metaphors to hint at your moments of searching and sometimes the raw truth spills out on the page.
