I Am Not What I've Done (Free verse) by <{Baba^Yaga}>
It's unstoppable now
The poetry has left me
Like everyone else did
Yammering away on a jag
My soul's picked carrion
And sobriety's put my fist
Right through the temple
Of god, and giants alike
I am only a man
Stuck on this couch
Listening to myself
talk about things
I thought I drank away
a long time ago
At some shit-hole-dive
In between love
and a stinky-green-penny
for your thoughts
I used to make as
much an hour as I'm paying you
to listen to why
I can't even get a hard on anymore
without a gun in my mouth
Or a belt around my neck
No more boy
cigarettes,
or girl
I know if this doesn't kill me
Nothing will.
