"Grand Closing"
(Short Chris Rock stand up sample)
Not a poem (obviously) but still a fun, creative idea...

I just want to make sure
I am completely sober
When I finally tell her
That it's actually over
It may seem like from an outsider
That I'm doing that for her
But I want to make sure
She is not another
Chip on my shoulder
'Cause there is no room up there
Due to life's boulder

The dust piles up
A warning sign of giving up
Dishes,
Not water,
Overflow the sink
A metaphor reaching its brink
No reason to really bother
No warning sign is enough for me to choose sober
I'm falling apart
The problems are located back at the start
I'm just an NPC
There's no reason to really see me
But I exist none the less
Ignored beyond my best

I have nowhere
I have no one
I follow the trajectory
Like Icarus into the sun

Who am I
And who are you?
What is real
And what is true?

I see good people
Doing evil deeds
I've seen the righteous
Plant wicked seeds

Up is down
And left feels right
Standing your ground
Is an internal fight

The very moment
Empathy is seen as weakness
Moves human life
To just a basic business

What have we created?
What is this?
This can not be debated
We are beyond forgiveness

I run from myself
Every chance that I get
42 and still I don't know who
I truly am yet

Feeling lonely though
Not technically alone
Afraid of now, afraid of then,
Afraid of what I know and all the unknown

Who am I to be someone
Who belongs standing right here?
A complicated life
Makes the entirety of life so unclear

What's done is done,
Besides, I'd only mess up a reset
What I have done and what I haven't
Both turn to regret

"You're just mad at god,
Obviously"
Well no, but tell me,
Why shouldn't I be......?
