A man who knew nothing of poverty
Affording the pleasures I only dared dream of in my head
Is now the reality I dare look at from my bed
Beautiful women abound and more money than I can see
I have everything I could ever ask for
Except the feeling of being free
Free were moments on my hand I would often count
The real me is something I sold down to the last ounce
I know nothing of true happiness, joy or glee
I know nothing of being a real man, though I play one on T.V
The flash of the camera would always leave me dazed
Thinking of a day I actually enjoyed the sun’s gaze
I could do or go wherever I please
But living this life is making it hard to breath
My life is like a balloon
I hold it in my hand, but now I must release
And maybe then I might be able to find some peace

Life’s biggest joke was making me
A man who knew nothing of poverty
Affording the pleasures I only dared dream of in my head
Is now the reality I dare look at from my bed
Beautiful women abound and more money than I can see

Except the feeling of being free
Free were moments on my hand I would often count
The real me is something I sold down to the last ounce

I wanted to write two poems that dealt with appreciation in two different ways in two different situations. Please read both and tell me what you think....

I was just having this conversation last night. Your poem is a great reminder even though i am on the otherside of the spectrum. Thanks for sharing this.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
