I cannot see, remember how to post a poem so I shall use the reply box.

It’s not about the money
It’s about forgetting
Imagining a different reality
one in which WE ALWAYS WIN
A contented, organised, secure life with the notion of being IN CONTROL

It’s not about the winning
It’s about the losing really
When we have nothing left our pockets match the emptiness in our hearts
Then we snap awake from the walking dream to find ourselves stranded yet back to square one
Square one is familiar territory
We know,, what to do here.
We breathe, we cry, we dream of doing better some day soon. Next time.
Over three years I’ve waited for him
As if gambling isn’t punishment enough
I have a plan. Plan B for the plan B
Working towards ascendance
If the people we loved truly listened there would be no corner for poetry
There would be very little misery
Hello victim mode, introducing moi
A paid up member of pity me anonymous
Readers you indulge me terribly and I thank you for it, truly x

That is beautiful. What you have is beautiful… One another
Well done x

No good time here.

It’s an expensive can of coke
The biscuits I threw to the gulls
I used to drink the complementary hot chocolate back when I feigned a carefree demeanor
What’s to say that hasn’t been said
To see my loved one nearly dead
Not just once but twice since December
The slots hypnotise
Yet then I remember
If I had a head start
To clear the two overdrafts
Then a little win on top
I’d get some new bras from M&S
UPLIFTED I might then stop.
Loving that man with all of my might honestly made things worse
That’s another story a totally different verse.
The plan right now is to take a bow then a seat whilst I recoup through hard labour.
Once I’m straight I’ll try my luck but not til then my dears.
Thank you for reading… I hope you all win with love conquering fear.

Hi Charles. Thank you. I’m not ready to be honest. I have to work work work because I’m in a bit of a hole. I think I can get out but things haven’t been great. In fact life has been very difficult not because of the gambling but the gambling has been the cherry on top of the shit cake. May I ask if you used to have a gambling problem Charles? I’m just interested in terms of your perception and the conceptual stories you have flashing before your eyes. More poetry soon… LT
