I Did My Life

I DID MY LIFE

I did my life
in the blue dark depths
of a pool
with a medley of
faces staring
up at me

I did my life
floating through sky highs
of mania
with a montage of
confusion
wild and free

I did my life
intoxicated
soaking up
poisonous escape
every day
incessantly

I did my life
in the silent flow
of crimson
red blood and tears
petrified
of this
my final
decree…

I’M DONE WITH LIFE
