Life & Other Such Things Poem by Gordon David

Is it better to give than to receive?
I'm a thinker, and I now knowingly believe
That I may not be as tolerant as I could
I raise my voice a lot more than I should

I don't want to keep doing this anymore
I don't want to live like this and that's for sure
I wish that I could get better and get out of this hell
I wish there was something, anything, to make me well

I'm not like the man I used to be
Why do I think that you're all laughing at me
I'm not him anymore I'm not he
Is there something about me that I don't see

You think my situation is funny
You think I'm in it just for the money
I thought you were the nice ones
I've seen many lonely setting Suns

The tastiest drink is after hours
We'll get yours, and you'll get ours
Do I write all this poor attempts at poetry
Due to my ever growing insecurity
