Bad Education (18 )




Back-pedal


I am defeated at last,

 

life was not kind nor was it bad,

 

lost my devotion to all the gods that existed,

 

though defeated I’m very pleased but very sad.

 

 

 

I have conceded very quickly,

 

no point in clutching at straws,

 

when there is no hope of happiness,

 

that had abandoned me cause.

 

 

 

I gave up without reluctance,

 

my faith eluded me long time ago,

 

and to survive all these years,

 

without hope and full of sorrow.

 

 

 

I yielded so fast and without hesitation,

 

that even when I realised the truth,

 

and though I had second thoughts about it,

 

I stamped and crushed it like rotten fruit.

 

 

 

I surrendered so swiftly and instantly,

 

that I am prepared for it with a smile,

 

a very rare smile I’m for sure of it,

 

all in all it would be worthwhile.

 


My cause being very simple and easy to follow

 

once again I shall, I will go back to my previous life,

 

and drink as many bottles of C2H5OH* as I can.,

 

after all what is there for a lowlife?

 

 

 

I shall withdraw all my promises,

 

I do not know any other living,

 

so why should I stop and feel depressed,

 

when I can live in a wonderful world of fantasising!

 

 

 

This is my life and decision is mine,

 

I will conquer all imaginations and excel,

 

And with my true living I leave in a cowardly way.

 

I shall back-pedal once again and for good into hell.

 

 

 

 

C2H5OH* formula for alcohol.

Forward Poetry's ethos has always been to act as a bridge to publication rather than a barrier. This, along with our passion for poetry and creative writing, has seen a humble family business evolve into the biggest publisher of new poetry in the world. We understand that poetry is subjective, that everyone writes in a different style and that what one person can love, another can hate! Our collections showcase a variety of themes, writing styles and poets from all walks of life. They are carefully edited and compiled to celebrate and complement the craft that all of our contributors enjoy poetry.
