Retirement

the mental cave in which I dwell
protects me from the public who
I care not to be around these days
as they are cruel and unforgiving
in their personalities and in the way
they have decided to live their lives;
no longer do I venture into the marketplace
and swap lies with thosee who claim to be
my friends as the falseness and hypocrisy
around which they live their lives is
no longer of any interest to me...  I cast
my shadow on my own walls and in
my own timeand in my own way and take
credit for that which I create...  but only that;
the emotional roller-coaster on which we
we all have ridden from time-to-time
no longer stops at my station and no
longer do I pay a fee for mental abuse at
the hands of others...  who have only one
purpose in life and that is controlling others
who cannot fit on all the rungs of the ladder;
the joy I felt was non-existent no matter
how hard I tried to create it...  and, in time
the bitterness I had for others began to
direct me against myself...  and, in so
doing created the person with whom
I can no longer identify and am no longer
pleased to see in the morning when I awake.
