Shaken Not Stirred
I'm a half pint of happiness
and a pitcher of pain
a pinch of raw sadness
and a tad bit insane
I'm a cocktail of cravings
just a need to stay high
that I sate with my savings
what a joke, rather dry
I'm a cup of commitment
and a litre of lust
a thimbleful of faith
and a gallon of trust
I'm three quarts misery
and one quart content
a meagre malignant
more than a mite malcontent
What innocence I had
was long ago spent
my once solid metal
lies twisted and bent
I'm brimming with angst
never one to 'just wait'
struggling to deal
with a forever full plate
I'm writhing with questions
on love, life and fate
I put alot of stock in loyalty
and I don't deal in hate.

Haha, sorry, your flattery is very flattering(Go figure). Sometimes, often, I can be over critical of what I write.

Thanks Atakti, I'm not usually a fan of this form but for a 'self' piece I thought it worked rather well. You know kept it rather straight forward and all that.
Thanks for the comment.
