A Beggar's Retreat

about

Dedicated to a friend who has struggled mightily and been through some very tough times. It's my attempt to empathize and relate to the deepest of personal despair in the hope that any support will help to tame the demons. To find a brighter place.

A Beggar’s Retreat by Craig Durgy

I’m so hungry, I’m so hungry

What does it really matter?
The table seems too tall
My heads been on a platter
Should I jump before I fall?

Can’t feel the crackling of the leaves beneath my feet
This autumn air is there,
But not so much for me

Has left this hole you see
So, please excuse me as I quietly retreat

I’m so hungry

I know there is a harvest
That will nourish me and more
So why am I here starving
With my back against this door
There’s a window where I reach out
Though I seldom see the light
One grain of hope I seek out
Like a beggar in the night

(Chorus)

I’m so hungry

The daylight burns too shallow
I scurry for the dark
But here I shrink and wallow
And the truth is just too hard
I know this devil, anger
How he drags me to defeat
Love, she is a singer
And she sounded so damn sweet

(Chorus)
So please excuse me as I quietly…
