End Of Story
After a lifetime of others
telling me not just what to do
but in the same breath without rest
exactly how where and when too
plus prior to crossing the finish line
while swimming upstream or going out on a limb
having the rug pulled out from under me
when skating where the ice is thin
what with those such disappointments
much to my disillusion and dismay
disheartened yet not depressed
but betrayed all along the way
don't know how long I can go on
or is it insanely irrational
for now overcome by total inertia
hopefully tho' it's not terminal
as averse to being bossed double-crossed
yet contrary to popular rumour
all that keeps me safely on kilter
is my in-built sense of humour
