Drip from the tap

sorenbarrett

Sitting in the dark
no place to park
I don’t belong here
Piece of lint
Broken arm no splint
Not wanted here
Cast off
Too soft
Let me disappear
Eyes turned away
Not here to stay
Let me out of here 
Out of place
Don’t recognize a face 
Gone from here

    Like the incessant dripping of the tap! Soren, this is marve!

    • sorenbarrett

      You got it! Thank you so much for the read my friend and yes, you picked that up

        Lived it, abhor it, wonder what my senescence will surprise me with, should I last this next decade! Another pet peeve- clocks tat tick-tock. Have to be silent ones or I won’t get any sleep. Had to bury one wrapped. In a beach towel, stuffed in a shut washing machine and the laundry door likewise sealed and shut! ⏰ grrr!!!

        • sorenbarrett

          They cost more than a surgeon nowadays, but then they might do more good. Thanks for the review Neville

          I don't recognise KP's face now with all the botox. I thought it was an old trout. lol.

              Wonder if that guy sleeping on the bench in the park....... go Soren?

              • sorenbarrett

                That was probably me Dave you should’ve come over and said hi. Have a nice day and thanks for the read.

                • Doggerel Dave

                  In truth I doubt that very much, Soren. You would greet whatever situation life thrust at you with the flexibility which would ensure you found a way......

                  Superb dear sorrenbarret I could hear the drip. 🌹

                  • sorenbarrett

                    Thank you, Teddy. Annoying isn’t it? Drips drive me crazy.

                    • Teddy.15

                        Have gone mental
                        Intellectual

                        • RSM0812

                          Story of my life. Reminds me of the pain and lonliness a person can feel when they have no one to turn to.

                            Such an intriguing write about the place we have always probably been in soren.

                              What a poem! Beauty in brutal honesty - it felt like a painting of alienation, a potrate of understanding and pain of rejection. Please correct me if the understanding was off.

                              • sorenbarrett

                                Thank you so much no you were right on with the interpretation. I appreciate your read and your understanding.
