life’s coming down
adversity’s not my thing
i like easy, crisp, and clean
cashing in a second chance
never giving a backward glance
but time’s piled up and i’m less free
there’s nothing’s between the wolves and me
down a pawn a rook a queen
life hasn’t worked out the way i’d dreamed
i push curse pray and yet
the further behind in time i get
there is no safety joy or peace
only loss’ lifetime lease

Brilliant poem, I especially like the line about the wolves. As for the subject matter, I feel ya every step of the way. I’m really not good at handling the challenges of life, I just wish it was easy.

Up from the depths, like Godzilla, a poet giant arises. Excellant stuff.
