You're welcome at the Home of the Blues
Live one day in my downtrodden shoes
Dreaming up rounds of excuses
Lamenting my self-made abuses
Perpetual misery resides in this soul,
Asking a higher power to make my mind whole
The dreamers in the Heavens have excuses
For creating me and my self-made excuses
Once you empathize you're locked in like lye
Scarring potential until its unrecognizable
Lay in the moonshine so dear
It hides the choice of divine lies!
My pride resigned after the age of 9
Locked up without pills to choke on
My soul is large and loves Home
My Home is small and laments life
My life is God though it hits hard
Downtrodden shoes worn at all hours
Twenty-four seven in a Hell I wish were Heaven
And a poem without end
Compensates my loss of friends
Too courageous to admit

I love this, and Johnny Cash was an awesome soul. Thanks
Nice to meet another poet, I love it :) Sheri
Now I don't have to see his movie biography. No, that's a bad idea. This is good work.
Nice work.
This piece definitely paints a clear picture of Johnny Cash's life.
Great exercise! Great read!
I like the idea of this writing exercise. Interesting stuff.
Nice work.
Very good poem. Makes me want to write like that again. That was my love in school. Others had hotrod magazine and I had poetry books!
