Coasting

he floated in mid air feet never touching ground refusing responsibility for his destiny a drifter open to anything a puppet never occurring to him he could at any moment grab the reins AP: Honorable Mention 2022, Honorable Mention 2022 Posted on March 25, 2019

"never occurring to him". I have to admit I have been in this place many times, many many times!

We are all responsible for the outcome of our lives - but some don't know how to be responsible - very sad but true. Very nicely penned Line. Poetry hugs, Jenny.

Sounds like a wasted life, it is hard to understand some folks like this. Perhaps they are lazy or don't understand, or maybe happy and we don't understand

I have known those who never realized that they could stand on their own; make their own decisions and be their own person. You describe this one well.
