Fun-eral

by Stuart Shilton

Eulogy for my dying enthusiasm
Sad and slow, six feet under
No longer a child, never ignorant
What doesn’t kill me only makes me
STRANGER
Never strong only strange
The lost generation
Floating aimlessly on clouds of smoke
Blowing rings burning
Lost and alone
With the anger that’s inside of you

You really put yourself out there. Insightful write. Everyone has a story. Iwill enjoy reading yours.

"Floating aimlessly on clouds of smoke" feel like i've been there for years
