Poetry: "Wasted Moments"

Wasted Moments

No one owes me a living

Time spent and squandered

Are NO One’s concern but MINE

Moments wasted on

                Misery and sadness

Moments pondering all the

                Would’ve, Could’ve, and Should’ve

Mine

No One Else’s

I’ll tell the truth and shame the devil

I’ve wasted moments of my life

A man left – boo hoo

I lost a job – wah!

Yes, life can get fucked up

It ain’t even fair at times

I still rage at the injustice – uh huh

I can only manage my mind

Waste my moments

My moments

I’m where I need to be

I choose to allow those lessons to wash over me

Bathe in my truth

Stand tall

My JOY
My LIFE

My DESTINY

No one else’s…

I choose to 

Listen for God in the wind!
