Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Screwed Up

You had it all
And screwed up bad

Your life took you
On a downward spiral

Out of control
Where no one could relate

Your demons are your own
Who could ever imagine

You had a chance at love
And screwed up bad

You sabotaged it
Never believing you’re deserving

One staggering victim left behind
Broken down on one knee

You screwed up bad

Gershon Wolf March 6, 2019 at 9:50 PM My one and only grammatical question regarding this powerful poem: 'Who is YOU?' (LOL, but it's actually serious). ~ gw Line Gauthier March 6, 2019 at 10:05 PM Thankfully it's not me or my husband. The rest of the adults can take care of themselves...
