My life has been spent in shadows trying to emerge I've swept the floor washed the windows did the dishes too I guess that is what they call this life.
I've seen the tunnel on one too many codeine Grandma sent me away
I've gone astray I blew up my future behind ******* My children say I gambled it all away.
One mellows in their old age No time for anger No time for drama too.
I've learned to accept myself Accept you
That testerone it blows up it calms down
Sleep it goes way too fast I wake up to another day.
I've rubbed myself raw I know what it means to be deranged I know what it means to long for it too.
You understand. Don't nod off now I'm coming to the most interesting part
But I woke up in another horizon Woke up on another plain Another dimension has called my name This life I now savor.
As you have said I know it is predictable moves A complicated game I never learned to play.
Another opportunity to prove I'm never what I'm supposed to be.
I've done the best I could with what I've got With that I am at peace
I apologize for everything I have ever been, But I am alive I'm still breathing have another day to prove it all again
I've got things on my mind I might as well talk to you.
I know this a little bleak, But truly Happy New Year to our Hello Poetry community.
