Disappointments for sale (inclusive of despair)
It consists of this,
all of it and none
I found solace in that
which I could not hold
but only cherish as fond memoirs
of a terrible moment in time
Never full, never empty
it turned into an addiction
derogation of the unwise, with no premise
bawls and shrieks have no place here
this is silent lucidity capsized
hundreds of expressions explaining one thing
one thing that explains it all
Destination: lost
with no means to propel the self
into a promising new day,
pray tell, what will break down the wall
self loathing and misanthropy creates
alone in a crowd, here, but far away
none of it is that important anyway
The smile stealer, grin eater
mood killer, running short of edification
It's never alone; in bed with misery
the smallest things distress
the grandest of thoughts
wanting reprieve, searching escape
as if you could
die and stain pride?
No
Cowardice is lower than this
not worse, just pathetic
but please, ignore my terrible advocacy,
everything is half off today
I'm feeling generous.

The last stanza is just beautiful. The first stanza kinda reminds me of Bukowski- the whole introverted self reflection thing. Beautiful insight into your mind here. Very much enjoyed the read.

Flattered by your comment.
Even (remotely)relating my work to the likes of his, that alone is more than a compliment.
thank you so much!

Gosh the title is so appropriate for your message. You showcased your writing ability well with this ink, Dennis! Really loved the way your mind exposed and created this.
"but please, ignore my terrible advocacy,

thanks so much Rain.
I wouldn't really say my writing has improved as such... I'm merely presentable enough now.
as opposed to the raw formless crap I used to write earlier :P
