Restraint (Free verse) by ThoughtfulSoul
The life of a man who hasn't lived life The voice of a man who doesn't speak The heart of a man who doesn't love Emptiness swallows this man and emptiness swallows his soul This man cannot see what is in front of him because he has chosen to see only what he wants to He lives his life in seclusion and will only be happy with the shadows that dance with the devil For his life has been wasted with no one but himself He has not enjoyed life to the fullest And for that will enjoy the after life so much more

The other-side is said to be a reflection of the life that one has lived. In that case, this dark fellow?

Is utterly fucked. But I'm not dead, so what the hell do I know? Nothing. Thats why I'm so god-damn good. Yeah, and red wine coats my lips that hang so vain so vain as I slice up a fatal vein, between snorts of cocaine, the skies dark... maybe it'll rain.

But what do I know? Nothing.

--Here, have a seven, I'm in a good mood, fuck it all--

Can anyone enjoy life to the fullest?

Did you intend a connection between these 2 lines:

"For his life has been wasted with no one but himself

He has not enjoyed life to the fullest"
