Analysis of I'm learning
Robert Slade-Richey 1998 (Traverse city)
I have lost my mind, but I was lost all along,
So much pressure on my spine, feeling like I should be gone,
Pain courses through my veins, at the worst it irritates my brain,
A deep fire inside my name, thou who is me, for my life I have no shame,
Let there be Peace to all and peace to me, learn from life, walk forward, very silently.
