Living Beyond Yourself Poem by Curry Bascue

Living beyond one's self is truly living.
What can one do when they live for themself?
Watch friends and loved ones leave by the fives.
To become a picture left alone on a shelf…

Something has got to give.
Something has to change.
Because I want to live.
I want to change.

I'm just left conceded.
Giving up because I always come back defeated.
I want to get back what I miss.
Because I've given away everything in my life for this.
