"Have a good life"

HarrisHan2k

“Have a good life”, I said

 

I said it many times

 

And I think I’m quite good at it

 

Good at using it as a mask of politeness

 

Hiding my soulless soul which shall end in nowhere but solitude

 

Good at using it as a mark of no-reply

 

Concluding conversations which shall bring me intimacy (or say, trouble)

 

Damn, I’m really good at it

 

And I’m gonna have a good life

    We often use words as a mask or shield to hide behind. Here this comes out in the irony of using the line in regard to oneself at the end of the poem. Nicely done

      Thank you, Soren. All your kind words, and insightful points made my day.Now you have collected the pieces of picture of a man who's having the "The Remains of the Day" trouble.
