Welcome to My Poetry Site
Venturing Beyond
My life's been a mess,
but more than anything
-I wanted to die well
To make up for those times
I struggled and failed
-and shorted the line
The people who knew me
were driven away
-in vain their love fell
Making love to my mistakes
my hours were sentenced
-through heartache defined
My life at an end
more than anything else
-I hope to die well
Underserving of this honor
I know that my chances
-are slim, mostly gone
I still have to try
to take any meaning
-from this place where I dwell
A final reminder
of all I am not
-as I venture beyond
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2018)
