I think I finally know who I am...maybe?

Poem Artwork

Am I not the guy that knew everything when he was young,
Was I the guy that drank himself into a stupor,
Then tried to drive home & showing I was stupider,
Than the ones who tried to stop me, as I was just having fun…

Was I the one that got busted, ending up in jail,
Never could I ever afford the high requested bail,
In that cell he first got religion, then started to know,
How his mind did work, he was feeling better,
You could tell by his bright and shiny glow…

So many negatives & still I did exist,
So many times I did try my best to resist,
All that does sit before you is what’s left,
Fortunately though I am not bereft,
For my love is also my soulmate,
We’ve known each other since we were seven,
All this time I have not known it, but already I have been in heaven.

I think that God lives in Jail.
Because that is where,
everybody finds him............

So much of your life wasted. But you were lucky to have that soulmate to rescue you time and time again or you probably wouldn't be here today to write poetry about it all.

Despite our dumb, young vanity, we ended up okay. But soulmates, now that is truly lucky!

I think we are constantly changing. Sometimes it's a major change, but often it's little changes that we don't even notice. So in that regard, I don't think we can ever truly know who we are. The best we can hope for is good understanding of who we are and end up with the right regrets

It seems the older we get, we admit who we really are...

Always,

I missed out on going to heaven, but still spent four and a half years pacing that 6x9 cell.

A rare and unique achievement to be with a "soulmate" since you were seven. By all accounts, you are in heaven before your time. John
