PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

what's really good about my life, my pride, the joys, the sorrows

the past, the present, the todays and tomorrows

the dreams, the nightmares, the focus, the distortions

the closures of my past, dead and nailed in the coffin

the trials and errors, the sins, the testimonials

the stresses, the guesses, the few I lent money to

the paybacks, the struggles, the hardships, insomnia

the sleepless nights I had to fight within the lines of

the looseleaf...the words that defy my self worth

the discipline implanted in my blood since birth

the honor, the respect, the triumphs, the wealth

the chances I take adding salt to my health

the broken laws of nutrition, the common fears

the reformation, the hopes of seeing 30 more years

the shortness of breath that I measure with the melody

the ex's I sexed with, the love, the infidelity

the trust, the promises, the goals, the causes

the fast forwards, the rewinds, plays and pauses

the smiles, the frowns, the highs, the lows

the checks, the balances, the ebbs, the flows

the questions, the periods at the end of a sentence

the vows, and the proof behind the ring that says I meant it

the marriage, the break up, the file for divorce

the surprise, the cries of my little man's loss

the voices, the choices, the moving-on process

moving on slowly, but slowly making progress

the insights that empower me...paid by the hourly

the courage that outshines the weak and cowardly

the sweat, the blood, the meaning of existence

the mind, the body, the soul, the significance

the bio, the man, the career, the positions

the ounce of my keys; care to snort my condition?
