    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

    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
