My Abandonment

Me and myself With no wealth Struggling to live Nothing left to give Alone I sleep at night In a doorway I might Or under a bridge Swarms of midge An empty ruck sack My life hijacked my child is about five she has no idea I’m alive Scrounge for cash Cardboard sign slap dash Spare some change Sir! I become a blur Affording the beast My wallet deceased A Needle in my vein I need to abstain The poison I crave Is digging my grave My life has failed My family derailed My time so far is a wash Not at all posh What a mess I’m in With no next of kin My life is a cheat Finger ready to delete Created 2/7/18
