A Million Miles for Nothing
by K. Mulroney

Rated "G" by the Author.

This life is all but dissipated
Ballooned and blown out long before its time
I have fought the discontent and selfish side steps

For a million miles, wearily I dread a million more

And these eyes have blinded by will.


Shut this down now, for I have no cheek Left to turn.
Stop the presses and leave the oil can empty.

Turn the wick downside, then atrophy the dream.

If I had known I’d inhale this deep and not want to let it go.

If I had known that wall could never be chipped.

If I had known it’s all wrapped and dipped in indifference.

I would have stayed in Heaven.

You really are a cynic! My wife tells me that I have the same problem. Not sure it is a problem though. I love the poem. Even cynics have a good day. I hope you have one soon. Patrick

WOW I found this deep
I think this is one of those poems that has different meaning
to everyone who reads it, depending on what is happening in their lives
For me, I feel this way on days when I have been beaten down by life
Wonderfully written, I enjoyed it
Have a great day

I have days where I can certainly sympathize with the sentiment here. The first two lines of this are really good; I love the rhythm of the lines. I do think the inconsistent and often incorrect punctuation takes away from the reading experience. The last line is a nice ending for the poem. Good job.

Hi K, Nearly everyone can say, "If I had known"... it's the big IF that we find ourselves living by, only to find that IF never really happens. I sense exhaustion in this write, because I've felt the same way. But I know that it's easy for me to say, If I'd known this or that, I wouldn't have".. but when it comes right down to it, I know that's what I'd like to think I'd do, but coming right down to it, don't know if I would or could change anything. Great write that causes such deep thoughts... thank you for sharing...

In Spirit,
Bear

Glad you're back. Appreciate your support. Well, a million more to go. We all best get started. I like when life is uphill because downhill usually ends up a bummer. It doesn't sound like you've been having too much fun. Excellent. Liz
