The Futility of My Breath
Rogue Thoughts Turned Poems

Book Cover & Preview Text
A Heart Without A Home Like a clock that’s always broken, I’ve pretended time stood still. I wallowed in my self-destruction, Like a soldier too afraid to kill. A somber tone of solace, Seems the order of our thought. Collective hate and ignorance, This story absent of a plot. Tears that hide behind a smile, We tell ourselves we’re unafraid. We’re slowly picked from time to time, To live our lives with the decayed. You justify what needs not be, You create a purpose out of none. Like a meal without a recipe, You’ll never know when it is done. We disregard these blessed moments, As we fill our time with vanity. Our stories lost within ourselves, Pushing closer to insanity.

About the Book
This collection of philosophical poetry tears the human experience apart limb by limb and shows its basic forms. Espousing the unmistakable absurdity of what it means to be human and that life itself can be nothing more than a cosmic comical accident, Adam C. Smith touches on subjects such as life, death, marriage, children, God, religion, and suicide. Adam’s poetry cuts directly to the core of the human experience and leaves the reader with a cold, unshakable understanding that we are alone but free.
