Existentially

This is simply my life
For all its known worth
My brokenness and hurt
What’s done, is done
Life only comes but once
It could’ve been better
I could’ve been much worse
I’m not pleading innocence
Nor am I accepting full guilt
I’ve lived life in blinding dark
On Light’s most outer fringe
Whenever I fall, Oh! I fall hard
Like in love, I freely give myself up
Heart and soul, is all…I really am

  1. Delightful work, this. Not too dreary, not too sugary, but certainly within the Goldilocks zone of comfortably lost. Again, wonderful.

  2. I love this. Feels perfectly written and I relate to it completely.

  3. It seems like my life too.

    I’m not pleading innocence
    Nor am I accepting full guilt.

    Lovely lines.
