Miserable Me

Setback.

This is not my life,

Not how I supposed it would be.

 

I seek happiness on a bottle of Vodka

I wobble and stumble along the roadside

I dodge my pain from the people around,

And struggle to arrest this bloody heart of mine

This is not my life,

Not how I supposed it would be.

 

I swam too far in water and something is pulling me down

I can only see those wild flowers on hills far behind

I am tired of pretending as if nothing has happened to me

My corroded pride now cannot hold me upright

This is not my life,

Not how I supposed it would be.

 

I count my breath alone in the dark

My feet are cold and my body curls for the warmth

This is not my life,

Not how I supposed it would be.

love it. I love the the line "this is not my life....." how do we even control how we want our life to be life.

Mirror mirror on the wall...shattered... The scary thing about some of you poets is that sometimes you are too real a reflection of the reader. Even with this being the case, outstanding work.
