Rough Justice

There is a long dirt track
that leads me
way back, to a door I left
behind closed,
   a whole lifetime ago ..
And boy
I swore then, I would
   not go back there again ..

There’s a whole
barrel of booze hiding
there too
in plain sight, can you
not hear
the crowd roaring,
or feel them, all ducking
   and diving and scoring ..

There’s a whole
trail of mistakes in a wake
that I made,
   in my rush for the exit ..
And casualties too
by the score but then who’s
counting, this is war
   and don’t we all know it ..

It is a good write. There are lots of people out there really struggling with it. I think you’re showing sympathy here.

Good morning Tina, I am fine thank you for asking .. I hope you are too ..
You make an interesting observation here .. isn't it funny how different people see things differently ..
I guess when compared to some, my life has been relatively interesting and full .. and I aint going to knock it, yet despite, or in spite of all the positive experiences I have enjoyed to date, like everyone else, there have been moments I would rather forget .. Actually, that's not true because I try to chronicle them for posterity .. x
