Have you made me a better man?
Heck no!
You’ve made me question everything under the sun.
You’ve made me wish my life was over and done.
You’ve given me nightmares that I didn’t imagine fathomable.
You’ve made me lose my mind so many times, at this point, it’s incalculable.
Have you made me a better man?
Heck no!
You’ve crushed my heart again and again, to the point of oblivion.
You’ve made me wish that I was not even a Floridian.
You've made me cry so many nights away.
You've given me many awful memories and I wonder if they'll forever stay?
No longer do you have power over me.
Over and out...

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Oof, this one hits hard! Brutally honest and unapologetic. That Floridian line caught me off guard in the best way!
