50-50
was the divorce court decree
She and I both bear the blame,
yet, why does an 800-pound gorilla
preponderance of guilt
weigh heavy on the back of me?
I know I did my shameful part
to wreck our marriage
To destroy something...

When your life knocks you down more than once? 
Do you just plant your ‘tush’ on a shelf, 
Or frame your act and pass as a dunce.

Twelve months later
I’m struggling for a motivator
To get me up in the morning
My life at present is stagnant and boring

Mixed feelings about my ex-wife

and rolled down an empty...
