Give It a Rest

Silly me

I stayed right up until the end

The final credits

Probably the last to leave

For fear i may just miss 
something that never ends
up happening

Apart from sloppy seconds or
drunken leftovers such as myself

But it's like playing numbers
on the lottery

Once in you just can't stop

Just incase one's numbers
actually come up or something
happens that probably never will

Like meeting the one or winning
anything more than my ticket
money back

Christopher, this poem makes me think you are a little down in the dumps but forgive me if I'm wrong. Life is good and we are all blessed,as we are all God's children, bare your woes to him,and you will feel so much lighter my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
