Damaged Old Man

I’m more than just damaged….
I’m a badly lost cause…
Unworthy of pity….
For my obvious flaws…
I’m aware my intentions….
Should be under review…
Minutely examined…
For meaningful clues…
A passing remark…
Hiding some truth…
Defining the difference…
Helping to choose…
I’m not disadvantaged…
Or begging some need…
I’m simply proclaiming….
I’m not willing to plead…
This is not an apology…
For where I’m at in my life…
It’s a genuine catharsis…
That may cut like a knife…
I’m not here to repent…
Or wallow in woe…
Or manipulate feelings…
With nothing to show…
My simplest offer…
I’m here as I am…
Take it or leave it…
This damaged old man…
