Let Go

Here I let go a wish again Here I lose one more bargain Was ready to start early at the dawn Would have accepted a game drawn Was instead handed a routing defeat Call it a harakiri or a rival's feat Never aimed as high as sky Anyway didn't have wings to fly Never aspired to be the brightest swan Ended up being a favorite pawn Time still has been good to me Always had a few moments free Life of me, didn't demand too much I too have been abstinent just as much Jan 24, 2016 For the poetry contest 'Self Inflicted' Sponsored by: Anthony Slausen
