Days When I Did Not Get Out of Bed – Written Thursday 20th July 2023 (Aged 48)

Days When I Did Not Get Out of Bed

there were days –
when i did not get out of bed
times i was easily led
moments that i regret –
the words that i said

there were days –
when i was callous and cruel
ran out of money
of food and fuel
exhausted by my own being
madame luck,
not all seeing

there were days –
when i did not get out of bed
times when i was easily led
moments where i was not fed
and i got caught –
in a web of words that i had said

there were days –
when i did not get out of bed
where i spilt my dreams
and cracked my head
but, there were days of love and fun
days of touch,
when the sea turned rough
but there were sold smiles
and so many happy miles
