It is safer sometimes to have nothing left to lose.
So some people stop trying to have any more than nothing.

Re: lionreign...you've captured that despair we likely all feel at times...
thanks Rumor, I think it's part of my style to write in absolutes; one is rarely a little glum but lost in a sea of misery... in short, I might have exaggerated my initial perception to make the point more clear :P

What an awesome opening line, it really make a point! And I thought of the people I have known who fit the imagery and truly it is a life in waste! This is pure power in poetry for me! KUDOS!

Very powerful description of
so many persons I see and care for everyday
when they show up for their appointment. If they really need to be followed, we have the case manager find them and get their medication to them and to come in for care. We have a day center where they can shower and wash their clothes and get clothes, blankets, snacks and drinks. Excellent poem.

That was a powerful poem that truly reminded me of my life as a drunk 44 years ago, and you described feelings so very well.

lionreign...you've captured that despair we likely all feel at times...
but this individual seems to have come to the end of his rope..one can feel his hopelessness.
