WAITING

life owes you nothing

it becomes an

occupation for those

uncontent

a salary earned from a lack of

motivation to leave

the canyon of

self-pity

with its sweet streaks that

tickle

every length of every nerve to

convince a person

they do not have enough

slowly rotting a

body from the

inside-out

an invisible vacuum

stealing

satisfaction but with

nothing

nothing to replace the gap that

is left

 

and so they wait

a sickly naivety that they are

owed

a debt belonging to

life

a fault of nature

to deliver

a commodity to serve

as transport to

a better

place

 

a place that does not

exist

'.. that tickle ~ every length of every nerve ~ to
convince a person ~ they do not have enough .. '

Tis true, life owes you nothing.. it's given, you're stuck with it. However, once a gift's given, surely it would be both foolish and thoughtless to put it aside without examining its reason for being.

Your words relate the start of breath, then - twist and turn emotionally, in some ways disregarding the positives! But, by the finish you've inspired touched thought. Good, yes?
