.....of childhood dreams that never manifested...

~ Instead were swallowed by bad choices
iced over by unmoving glaciers called denial...
I have spiraled for years
chasing ghost goals
based on non-existent virtues
only knowing my hurt
not the pain of others.

Not caring, I charged forward
giving wounds unsparingly
sharing only a feast of poison
proudly stomping around
with tainted values
with no value for life
or love...
or even friendship,
and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Can you feel
the blistering winds
found on heights-
stacks of lies
engineered...
in the name of my desires
and wants ?

I've been the president of a nation
called Manipulation...
I've been the reigning king
over a sovereign called Sorrow.
Apathy...my ace boon coon,
Rage ...my faithful companion.

Gypsy-like...
always packing up,
always moving...
always running to the edge of town-type...
always gotta icepick
gun or a knife....
always...
ALL WAYS
...ready to fight.

In remembrance of my son's first seven years
and my daughter's whole life never knowing me,
never knowing the love of their biological...

I would say,

" ***** ! I never knew MY father ! "

"I'm locked..... I'll get in touch when I'm free ! "

Gaining freedom only to still be in bondage...
to me....

Insanity at best..failing this test
called life I have been given...

no more.


In remembrance of a man who has been rotten to the core....



Rest In Peace
