Sundowner Slap



Sundowner Slap

Do I learn from life’s lesson taught to myself?
Try to remember when emotion drowns out everything else
How quickly I see the river of regret
How painful to witness my missteps

The stillness around me is the prison I made
Whether deliberate or not it’s real and doesn’t fade
There’s no door or window but only the sky above
The effort to climb and clamber out is tough

Done by my hand or invisible destiny?
Either way it always seems to be inevitability
The search for happiness is the most elusive of all possibilities
Raise my depression with gin to see an illusion of probabilities?

Do I attack my past and point fingers at my ancestors?
Stare at the walls which are mirrors of my soul
Eyes that look far into the distance
Seeing light and not surrendering is my sole sustenance
