Failed again; only this time I lose everything, including my mind. I plan to wake tomorrow with the intention of trying again.
Your life is your life, Don't let it be clubbed into dank submission.
I know some "thing" is watching, listening closely. "It," sends me hope through whispers, whispers only I can hear. I am scrutinized, ostracized, berated for even paying attention to "that thing."
I am hurt. I want to quit. But I lost everything already, what more do I have to lose?
I act again. I try again. I fail again. I've given myself the piece of advice to: hold these failures close to my heart. They will pave the way. One stepping stone after another.
You will ride life into perfect laughter.
A poem inspired by the late great Charles Bukowski. Please enjoy and stay driven.
