Nick Trim Poet Rhyme

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.

Barbara Gorelick April 2, 2019 at 9:18 AM 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 Nick Trim April 2, 2019 at 9:26 AM 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 :)
