Alas, this is me

by Chris C - Taurus

Alas… this is me
Pouring out my poetry
Unfortunately none would exist
Were it not for life’s limitless bliss
Admit Only One: Life’s Sham
I was handed the ticket and here I am
Is life really all that flashy and fun
Utterly mine has not yet begun
Deteriorating in a quite trite state
Shall true content arrive before my fate
Many “smiles” are fooled upon these lips
As meaningful as hulls lacking ships
Inside will I ever truly spark a smile
Residing in this lost and lonely aisle
Unconsciously I pace it every day
Wading through woes along the way
Mental confusion… always apposing
Gates to answers… coldly closing
Melancholy is the straitjacket for me
Yet the matter… is it momentary?

Reason for writing:

    ...
