Health Warning
'times
I think I'm not fit
to deal with all this bullshit
life
spatters in my face
as welcome as a nose bleed
feel that it's feeding on me
why wont it go away
Ever since tomorrow
became bigger than today
life is not worth living
underneath the pain
They said
things would be OK
they said
it would be
happy ever after
if I
did what they said
and lived how they said
just a crowd of dirty
lying moralisers
going nowhere
what I swallowed
tastes so bitter
don't you ever
do the same.
Ever since tomorrow
became bigger than today
life is not worth living
underneath the pain.

Dark and worthy poem, infested with real desperation behind the lines. Brilliant.

infested with desperation - can I use that Jack, it sounds better than my poem.
Thanks for your praise.

Go ahead, though you do yourself a disservice by lauding it superior to this wonderful piece:-)

Thanks for reading & commenting Gigi - this is an old write I'd totally forgotten about - so for me it's a bit like finding an odd sock at the back of the drawer!
