I’ll Be Honest With You

If I can survive the war that I battle with myself, I can survive anything. – gemma troy

The Myth of Sisyphus - Blake Lazur - Medium

I’ll be honest with you

I’m old.

Seems like no trouble

getting here.

‘Cept for dodging maybe a

million bullets.

Maybe two million.

Too busy to keep track.

 

Once I realized the big ass

rock

I was rolling uphill was

me,

life got easier.

Not less difficult,

don’t get me wrong.

But safer somehow.

Less dangerous,

but still ominous.

 

Used to go looking

for trouble.

I was a combination of stupid –

or maybe just naive and

male –

lucky

and tough.

First two better

lead to tough.

Trust me.

Wasn’t exactly a choice.

 

I get knocked down

but I get up again.

Looking back?

don’t look back

can’t remember much

of anything

anyway.
