specifically (but not limited to) the word "fine" Assistance welcomed
(impress?)
the spiral of decay begins
nightly bottles of wine
consumed with obligatory cigarettes
messy sprawl of belongings
mimic the feedback from speakers
set possibly too loud
and may annoy
faceless neighbours
nightlife sounds
from outside compete
but only fleetingly compete
the cooker stands
as a place
to hold dirty dishes
diet is declining
into the same mess
as is shown privately
in the decay of the space
lack of pride
what must they think?
who?
best not to think of who
has noticed this decline
for self-pity is fine
if not accompanied by
the pity of others (they?)
who to blame
no one
except oneself
need to smarten up
grow up
achieve more
worry less
drinking not to forget but to fill time
must be replaced
with what
with a more beneficial strategy
must not fall behind
must set achievable goals
must not succumb to laziness
must not lapse into
unfavourable comparisons
with song lyrics
or fictional characters
having more interesting lives
than i
can ever hope to live
must atone
for previous mistakes
and learn
that i can
and must
do better
because anything else
is a waste
of time
