My Life In 9 Lines

Hyperactive and slow as a kid, then labelled stupid with wit, a confused academic but athletic, whom then abused drugs and drunk and spent many years being high on skunk, but then the social circle shrunk, as the depression infringed, push to the fringe of suicide, but I'm still standing, still alive.

Let's hope that the positive note that you end on remains, Nick. I feel that you have a gift with words which could be used so productively once negativity recedes. Best wishes Wendy
