Poem -
HALF DEAD. HALF DEAD
HALF DEAD.Ā HALF DEAD
40 now; half my life gone,
No wife, no daughter, girlfriend or son.
I've only ever been half- alive
And with my limited understanding
I try to survive.
I've never understood the meaning of life;
Never really been independent.
Whilst most people seize things
With both hands
I have remained dependent.
An old brain MCA infarctĀ
With which I've grown:
Half- dead then perhaps
Since in the womb.
Hard to say what difference it makes.
Half- dead.Ā Half- alive.
Asleep.Ā Awake.
40 years gone and here I am.
Like a child in the body of a man.
Perhaps not knowing what I could have:
The opportunities that I can grab.

A sobering write indeed! Time flees swiftly by, dragging us all along in its wake, that's for sure. But hey, isn't 40 the new 20? I think I read somewhere that someone believed it was. But in any case, even if it's not, I think you should try and put a more positive spin on things. 40 is not too old to find yourself a girlfriend you know ?Ā (current times difficult, granted). I think you will find, 40 is the age to find the key to open that box of positivity that lies around among the cobwebs of our brain. Go forth and grab life, and the best of luck on your journey x
You could be describing a person I love so very very dearly here Michael. Afflicted by MH issues as an adult and I wonder what riches he has been cheated of. Pinned, made me cry. Hugs ?
A very deep reflective piece. Well versed. I agree with being me. 40 is not old at all. You know yourself by then, had time to be you, you are in the perfect position to meet the right person for you. Stay positive and go get and do all you want on your list. Px ?
