Negatives in Paradise

Poetic Dan

Excuse me while I let go of some negativity, of the ones in my life that want to police me



I know I ain't great but I try my best, they have at a table eating humbleness



Never have I just walked away, I've given all I have but they still fill my plate



I know of many that wish for the life I have but walked away and never looked back.



I'm sure the are all haunted at night in their dreams but in the other side it's never all green



For as much as I'm greatful and documented it well, in a few more years I'll celebrate leaving this hell



Nothing makes me saddest than wishing away life on the kids, maybe the loss of the love that even made them exist



At least that marriage and all relationships after that, made me keep changing dream until I made it



I've given every inch of my heart and soul to be the best father that I can be, but for some it will always be about the money

    Dan,

    An honest and heartfelt write! You are so right, “Changing what I can, letting go of what I can’t.” That’s the best we can do...and that’s good enough for me...and obviously, good enough for you!

    Reading this poem felt like breathing a breath of fresh air! Thank you for sharing!

      As do reading your comments my blister in poetry, I still feel a weight from this feeling for a few days now.

      Thanking for listening words of support, I've now just driven back with my elder daughter (that feels good to say) singing all the way, thank you for your spirit joining us.

      As I read the words before we left and I know it helped some relief in me heavy heart!
