M's Poetry
It's Over
Turn the lights off
and look at all the boxes one last time
take a deep breath
to relieve all this stress
all this hard work and nothing to show for it
everything I cherish I am losing
reality never sucked more than it does now....
it's over, done and complete
not what I wanted
but life might not be that bad on the streets
I don't know where I took a left turn
but I am here now....even with all my lessons learned
I never was supposed to get laid off
never was supposed to struggle to just stay afloat
the twists and turns of my life
looks like I will end on a sour note
I just can't remember for the life of me
how I got here
it's over, done and complete
not what I wanted
but life might not be that bad on the streets
I don't know where I took a left turn
but I am here now....even with all my lessons learned
I could sit here and cry but it would do nothing
would never change the outcome
after a while you become numb to it all
I just never been to where I don't care
but I am sinking fast and dangerously approaching being there
it's over, done and complete
not what I wanted
but life might not be that bad on the streets
I don't know where I took a left turn
but I am here now....even with all my lessons learned
the dark clouds that follow
seems to always continue
it will never lift barring a miracle
until it's over....
