Life is not daunting, callous or done
Not something to be overcome

Life is to be had...
Dangerous, Comfortable, Happy or Sad.
He knew that.

A rare kind of person.

He tore through life
Every inch, every opportunity taken.

Life was wonderful,
sometimes woeful ,
But it was all Had!

He filled those around him
with the urge
to
do
Something!

He left a mark and a gap
many fail to leave
despite more years had.

He knew that.

I think I am in love with apathy and sighs.
I don't feel well when I look into
my own eyes.

What comes next?
After all this scripted non-sense.
The art is gone...

I'll sit on the ******* fence.

And when they come for me,
demanding things I cannot see.
I'll feel the shame I lack,
and keep looking

for the track

  that I can't
                stay
                   on.

— The End —
