So happy to work
To finally be
Accepted by someone
Financially free
To watch my bank
Start to grow
As I save money
Look at it go
I buy a car
Keep it pristine clean
Take care of it
Watch it gleam
I go to the pub
I drink and smoke
I enjoy myself
Life is no joke
Forty now
Still enjoying myself
Life is good
Ok health
All the money
In the bank
House paid off
No more rent
I never married
No kids for me
I was happy
Living free
Go on holiday
Where I like
Enjoy the sun
Beautiful life
Ready to retire
Put my feet up
Chill out a bit
It’s been a bit much
Ready to receive
My first pension cheque
Waited so long
To be paid back
My account online
Is looking good
Order in takeout
Some nice fancy food
As the doorbell rings
I go to open
I lose my footing
My hip is broken
I call for an ambulance
And dial 999
I cry to myself
Over the line
The lady on the phone
“Sir can you hear me?”
Unable to respond
I drop the phone feebly
I never thought
It would end like this
I just wish
I would have been missed

Wow. Beautifully written and sad. Thought provoking.

As I read this poem, I thought how good it was to hear you so happy. Then, I got to the broken hip part and realised how sad it really was. Was this something that happened to you? I do hope not, but it did; I hope you are all healed now. Your writing is so beautifully written, and sometimes it’s difficult to know whether you’re okay or not. I care.

Hi, no it’s not me, I’m almost 40 and I have no money, so definitely not me, ☺️. It is totally open to interpretation, hasn’t always got to be about me. I am well, thanks for asking. How are you?

I’m so glad it’s not about you. Your poetry comes across so genuinely, I’m never sure if it’s about you or not. Sorry to keep asking you nearly every time! I just care about my blogging buddies and readers, that’s all. I’m fine, thank you. I’ve been trying my hand at fiction, which is unusual for me, never having achieved it before. I’m quite pleased with it and it’s not often I say that. Take care.
