Poem About Nothing

I wish I could speak my mind without judgement
I've got a lot of pain to deal with, can I put my ink on it?
You haven't been through anything if you didn't learn a thing from it
This is the poem about nothing

I may be the last to succeed, but will never be the first to quit
If you don't like what I say then go and find an alternative
I take care of myself, because most people's love isn't permanent
I act reckless, I'll be gone by the time the smoke clears and not care about who's underneath the burning bridge

Mistakes made, but I can't lose sleep when I already suffer with insomnia
Ran from depression, but it was chasing me on a Yamaha
My past suicidal thoughts, make people think I should be monitored
I say things as they are, but I could make a joke and they wouldn't understand the Paranomasia

I don't fear a thing even though I know I'm vulnerable
Bipolar, but I accepted myself and became comfortable
I found dreams in my nightmares, and accepted not everything will be wonderful
To anyone I offend, I hope I offend you more because I won't bite my tongue for you

I wish I could speak my mind without judgement
I've got a lot of pain to deal with, can I put my ink on it?
You haven't been through anything if you didn't learn a thing from it
This is the poem about nothing

Doug Vinson April 14, 2017 at 2:12 PM A speaking of the truth; good use of ink. Resolve - not being the first to quite, a very good thing. There is also acceptance, a long-building process. I still suck at that after a long time. Alex Duffy April 15, 2017 at 2:51 PM Thank you, I realised it doesn't matter where you finish in the race/journey just keep going. We're all built different, Acceptance takes time, we all get there at different points in our lives

Alex Duffy April 11, 2017 at 2:52 AM Don't apologize I'm quite open, I've accepted I'm bipolar, I always have a lot to say, but some feelings are bases on before as I can't always write how I feel right now
