Sonnet in Sorrow Major

Why do I still care when the world out there doesn’t give a Tinker’s Dam?
It is not like I can change the way things went down it’s over and done.
I know they hate me, if that’s how it must be, I can’t change who I am,
And I guess I still be around when the last scoundrel gets hung.
My life is not great and I really do hate the long dog days hanging on,
People seem to expect a shrug of the shoulders and me saying “It is what it is.”
Well walk in these shoes and find out if you would go on or halt.
See if you can deal with the pain and the fury of living like this.
I try everything but tears are torrential rains every day that I live.
Tormented thoughts like scared rabbits hold up in my head.
I think I have potential and that makes it essential to try to give
The moments so precious that pass like ashes before I am dead.
This might not be fine poetry, but, God; it’s the way that I feel:
A life where hope is almost drowned, the emotion and heartache very real…

This is heart-breaking, bro!

"The best revenge," someone wrote, "is living well." By which, in your case, I mean with valour, with undiminished love for those who seem to you to deserve your love.

And try I will, mon ami!

This might not be fine poetry,
Oh?


but, God; it’s the way that I feel
then it is!

Well done again, maestro! :)
