Halfway Here

© 2025

Trying to reconcile the Jekyll and Hyde in loved ones. And secondly, I often wonder how people can carry on like normal with so much cruelty in this world. Something must be switched off or broken inside.

I guess that is what happens
when you push the Kind too far
it snaps and shatters across the timelines
until you don’t know where or when you are

That’s how they train the little soldiers
when they send them off to war
they twist and maim the Gentle
until they cannot take it anymore

They leave their minds behind
to escape outside
and their shadow self steps in
who has been burned alive and killed to survive
and seen the carnage shaped by sin

There’s people out there
living in despair
that are only half way in this realm
their minds are split
and they’re trained to shift
when fear threatens to overwhelm

So when I look around and wonder where
are all the folks that are supposed to care
I should not be surprised that there are so few found
'cos many are gone
just the lights left on
and in their place their ghosts are crowned

And it seems to be
that in families
this trauma curse is sadly passed down
and the memories that are haunting me
are from the place and time 

where I was drowned.
