Not worth it...

Not worth it...

A Poem by Huw
"

Ummmm?

"

When she left I told everyone that she had the best deal

She could and did leave, but I was stuck with me.

How could a man leave himself?

How could a man be released from himself

from the imaginations of his mind?

I waxed worse and then worse still.

Trapped, addicted, adjudged

''Help I need someone'' the man said

and so did I, but I didn't know who

I didn't know why and the wherefore?

The wherefore left me in desperate

and dire straits. 

I have promised not to ask questions of myself

I tried to drown my sorrows, but they float

they just float there and mock me

Try again, try again and again and again.

I no longer hurt when they hit me

Hit me again I shout, but they walk away, 

laughing, taunting...''you're not worth it''.

Which is what she said as she left.

I've been commenting on someone's drawings for a couple of months and she asked if I was a published poet. It made me laugh because I'd left school at 13 years old and never completed formal education.. more..
