Poetry On Odyssey: Goodbye To The Past, Hello To The Future

Goodbye to the rope that bounded my soul,

keeping the past always within hold.

To the rope that nearly choked me to the end,

i let you go so my life can begin.

to all the heartache and betrayal through the years,

i release from grasp with almost no fear..

to the friends i have lost and the ones that still stand,

know that you will always have a hand.

Goodbye to the past that controlled my life,

may you find more misery in your lonely mind.

I leave with high hopes and smile on my face,

knowing my life is not in Gods good grace!

I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
