POEMS by KERRY
AS USUAL... THEN
I had another sleepless night as usual. I thought about my life and loss - as usual. In and out those years of fears, I fight to hold back sudden tears - as usual. Got out a book and read the end - as usual. Thought, I m going round the bend - as usual. I had another sleepless night and morning came and I dragged myself to work again - as usual. Out on the town and on the booze - as usual. Alcoholic remorse, so I had s snooze - as usual. Am getting used to being sad and still pretending to be mad - as usual. Back to my thoughts of being free - as usual, but life just torments little old me - as usual. I m sick of sadness in this world and all the millions war has killed - as usual. What is going on, I think - as usual. Why does this world bloody stink - as usual. Flowers grow and bodies rot - in a world of peace that’s not - as usual. I look around in disbelief - as usual. I steal the days just like a thief - as usual. Morbid thoughts attack my mind and make me sad. God when will I stop feeling so bad - as usual. I cooked my tear and had a beer - as usual. I wiped my eyes as I shed a tear - as usual. I loved and lost and felt a heel, went out again and played the fool - as usual. Went on a pub crawl with the guys - as usual. Had my lows and my highs - as usual. Felt uptight and had a fight, got boozed and lost another night - AS USUAL.
