Karen Croft Poet Free verse

Life's Roulette

Afraid of being alone
Burned out from a bad relationship
I am confused,depressed,distressed
I feel guilty, because it's over
Hateful it didn't happen sooner
Impatient with life
Insecure of myself
Insulted by others remarks
Jealous of everyone
I felt like quitting
Lost and overwhelmed
I'm not sorry for my actions
Proud to hold my ground
If my self-confidence stays

Caren Krutsinger May 20, 2018 at 9:56 PM Your title is perfect for this poem. I am certainly rooting for you, I so hope your confidence stays, because the "hateful that it did not happen sooner" tells me everything I need to know. Nicely done.
