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
