It Started With One ...

Unfinished poetry,
Broken glasses - I've cut down on the drinking
To save myself, at least my liver
'Small steps to becoming a better man'
But still in my wake I leave, hurt - broken dreams
All in the hope of the ultimate.

'Hope'
Funny word.
The universe sees it fit to fuck with my mind
Dangling me like a yo-yo
One minute there's hope -
Next there isn't.
... The one thing I yearn for but shouldn't desperately eludes me.

Elucidation -
Blame me not for the man I am
I've chosen to walk a path entirely my own
False dawns are just a part of the script now.
