back on the track
Looking back on it now
the troubled
trampled trails of truth
have finally
peeled off my
putrid pailing
parts of
passion.
Ruefully
revealing
the misery
molded mound
of my lonesomely
Limping lifeline.
Always
passing through
the pity pathed
paths of pain .
Just to remain
back on the train
Treading another
trialing track .
About This Poem
Last Few Words: I’m going have chest surgery on December 30th . They’re going to put an antisythen device in my chest in order to stop the shunt from overdraining.

My inspiration
I was inspired by Stephen Sondheims song waste.
