Hard Bitch Road

A hard life has made a hard bitch.
A myriad of fucked up choices
and towing the line
behind the back seat drivers of my life.
yes I fail to crumble, whimpering...
an out dated style,
that only affects the weak
and empowers the strong.
those heart strings don't twang
as easily or sweetly as they used to
Instead I manipulate life with sound logic;
and I don’t mind, I'm fine.
There is a little door to compassion
I don't waste on fools more than once.
The gamut of bullshit and excuses runs
the length of the subconscious universe
and the detrimental scars physicalised
in the conscious memory toted around forever
in emotionally full bags.
So I dropped a few bundles
and I smile a bit more but,
I kept on to that bag of remorse
not to become too inhuman in course
I won’t let your illusions
force themselves into my reality.
I got the right solution don't drain
my resolve or try to affect my sanity.

Don't latch yourself on and cry foul
when I leave your dead weight behind;
I've got enough on my fricken mind.
I think life is a breeze
but we turn it to shit
and wallow around hoping
others will get us out of it.
Well, no. Not a bit.
Call on a higher power,
let people call you
the arrogant it brings
but I am capable of thriving
a far cry from merely surviving.
I do not have much yet,
to me it is the universe
and every breath I thank God gave me,
I took in myself.
Isn't it time you dropped the excuses
and start planning your own way out?
I dropped every childhood invasion
of body and mind;
the innocence lost no one can find.
pain of injury and worn out edges
rheumatoid mind and crippled spine
I held my self like a lamb to slaughter
I tried to blame God but,
it didn’t work.
The past is gone.
I have forgotten it.
It is not who I am,
it is what happened to me.
It serves no purpose
but the devils musing.
I now fight with my strengthened resolve
knowing I am allowed to be weak,
and this thought follows quickly,
the memory of those in my back seat.
I slam the breaks. Get real!
Find your own way home
you miserable freaks!

You've got magnificent

You've got magnificent vocabulary, and you describe emotions with grace and elegance, very talented in that aspect. My only suggestion is to make it flow more, unless of course that is your style, in which I can respect because it is very original! I hope you find peace which is closer than anything.
Love
-Matt

Thanks youre right,

but over time i will iron them out, they are mostly flash in the pan expressions. i have issues with dyslexia and grammar so its never a fun or easy task to write in the first place but I am compelled to write and rather than lose the countless poems i am too busy to write i jot them down. However, yes I agree all writes deserve special attention, and many times flow is important and sometimes not as you suggested, i just cant always find that time to fix it, but one day I hopefully will. Thankyou for your advice and encouragement Kind regards SS.
