I’m the rubber man
My plasticity allows me to expand
Change has dulled my edge
Hell, I can kick a ***** habit
In a single solitary pledge!

I can bounce back
When love blows me over
I can love for all I'm worth
And manage to stay sober

I never dreamed I'd become
Free of life’s meddlesome's
Yet here I am
The bouncy one!

Sometimes
poems
make
me
want
to
write
in
a
crowd
of
only
one
person.

I found myself
After many years
Trials and tribulations
Too many tears

Years went wasted
Feeling empty
Lost in despair
Nothing good could be

I lost it all
Nothing to do
In that barren moment
A light shined through
My life nearly gone
Yet I still stood
Was tragedy over
Leaving room for good

I’d been the victim
For far too long
Accepting the sentence
Of everything wrong
Yet in my darkness
The sun did rise
Realizing I’d lived
A series of lies

Carrying the mark
Of sins not mine
Knowing it was time
For the true me to shine
Destiny now in my hands
To shape and create
Shedding all judgment
Even if a bit late

I found myself
After many years
Now living fully
Nurturing my cares

Life can be
Such a mess
So get out there
And do your best

You fell down
Well, get back up
I never meant
To be so rough

The world is fast
And it ain't fair
Love is hard
And it's cold out there

Life can be such a mess
It's up to you
To do your best...
