An Intentional Mistake I Knew Nothing About

An Intentional Mistake I Knew Nothing About

A Poem by Jack Cassidy
"

Exploring loneliness....

"
I'm up in this motel,
worrying about what hasn't happened.

The sound of the freeway,
it's buzzing with life and monotony.

Never did erase my past,
now left with a debilitating future.

Lying here in comfort,
I'm blowing kisses at nothing special.

How alarming it is,
to find yourself alone a lot.

Even with people surrounding,
I don't know where I'm at.

Earlier I smiled,
at a waitress who ignored me.

Is it always unpleasant,
to strike out with such frequency?

The day is remembering my first day,
when life was nothing but promise.

I sigh, sadly and eagerly,
about what my next first day will be like.

I certainly appreciate your kind words and wishing me well, so if I ever see that guy again I'll tel.. read more
at my age i really relate to this...all the strikeouts...all of the times feeling alone in a crowded room...
all the times wondering if i have ever really achieved anything in my life...

not really wanting to know what the next day will be like, but doing more reminiscing as to the possibilities that i thought might lie ahead.
