TAINTED
The end is near
the end has past
where are we now?
was I left behind
not meet the minimum
inferior or tainted
or was the mouth
calling the claim
unfit to speak?
I am relieved
glad to still be here
I like my life
so I missed the boat
it seems so did he
the second time
I am glad I am still me... are you?
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
Laughs...Levity, thy name is, um, what is the name of this one? I choose, "Tainted?" It's a good word.
