A Year Away From Home

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I lied.

To my friends, to my family...

To myself.

I'm sorry for the months I cried.

I'm sorry for the night I threw up

from too much beer on the Superbowl.

I'm sorry I chose friends who didn't give a shit.

I'm sorry I let other people make me feel small.

I'm sorry for all the money I wasted.

Freedom...I just wanted to taste it.

Most of all, I'm sorry for letting my life get so far off track.

I'm sorry for the year I'll never get back.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

If you guys look at some earlier post from 2013, you might notice they are kinda depressing.  At the time, I wasn't aware of it, I was depressed.  This is a poem about a year from hell.   There is a footnote to this poem that reflects my current mental state.

It's all part of life. It

It's all part of life. It isn't what has happened that matters. It is how you pick yourself up that does!!

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

A Year In Hell

May there be more good years than bad ones in your life! - the eternal optimist.. Practice smiling in the mirror, then take that baby out for a stroll in public. If you change, the world changes. Chalk it off to experience and be sorry for nothing. ~A~
