I Live With Only Life To Give Clean For Soup

I've gone too far to ever come back bad luck stuck in a mental trap I’m going to start accepting facts Suck in no air so lungs collapse I had ambitions to reach the top Until I saw how high it sits A fear of heights told me "stop" So I live my life in the pits Singled out and always the one Acting like a stupid prick Single now and always a one thinking that I must be thick Never in love never content Jumping dumb from bed to bed Every friend came and went Dump them slump then in to dread I circle around this sinking drain I’ve seen the sights this life can give sunken deep down in odious pain I live with only life to give I live this gift this life I live though nasty times are these I take the roughest with the snuggest in changing sceneries I don’t eat food sleep or chat I live without routine I don’t compete my mood is flat I have no social scene I gift back this life I was given This gift no good for me I wish that I can be forgiven A want to be set free. 4/2/2019 *favourite from last week contest sponsored by Lu Loo

I hope this is poetic license and that you don't feel this bad. However, I couldn't stop reading so your poem has done its job. BG

I think I'm asking for forgiveness for the "want" or "action",..... but when you've just written the best poem of your life, your mood changes lol, I suppose this poem is about standing on the edge lol, thank you very much btw :)
