Hey there, Watson what did you do?

Where has life landed you, friend?

Tell me tales of what you’ve lived through.

And how on earth they all will end?

–

I traveled deep into the darkness.

And I found light on the way out.

Most of my lessons far from harmless.

But that’s what my journey was all about.

–

Countless persons, experiences and such.

Formed the lessons I referenced before.

Love and strength were my only crutch.

Venturing past each slamming door.

–

What can I tell you my dearest friend?

Of what this world has given me.

Realities harshness doesn’t end.

Or a sweet reward of liberty.

–

Loving hard is not enough.

For person’s not worthy of a love.

No peace or beauty can be rough.

When all they do is push and shove.

–

Changes happened at this point.

An adoration for me I did find.

My gifts and talents I anoint.

As strength and power fill my mind.

–

The answers all kept coming.

To the questions remaining in my life.

With all my passions continuously summing.

I found the courage to leave my wife.

–

Toxic narcissism was her art.

From the beginning of our life.

Only when we were apart.

Did I realize I never had a loving wife.

–

Moving to a far away land.

I began the changes that never end.

Feeling empowered and really grand.

Starting affirmations I became a best friend.

–

A new career, no longer a phony.

I started writing for a living.

Helping me pay my alimony.

And providing me was sorely missing.

–

Purpose, usefulness, and daily challenge.

Or a steady part of my career.

This is how I get my revenge.

Building a future not muddled, but clear.

–

Final words my friend for you.

We can drop a needless fuss.

The brightest future now in view.

Succeeding example for the rest of us…
