the me

I get lost in the me.
Inside my head. Stuck in this room with nothing in the future.
Nothing…in the future.
So all I do is think, think, think.
Thinking of all of the things I have lost. All of the moments that have gone away. Things I could have, should have done differently.
No hope for a future.
My head spins on what is now. But mostly on what is not now.
Is all I have left the could of, should of, would of, if I had only known what tomorrow would be?
Mostly, my thoughts are a blurry, bumpy ride, wallowing in regret. And fear.
And panic.
So much panic.
I am suffocating under the weight of it so that I can’t hardly breathe.
This is me.
And I have nothing left.
Yet, looking back, I see a past of empty dreams and failed potential.
Nothing but a wasted life.
I will die on the street having done nothing worth remembering.
And no one will notice.

St. Paul Boxing Legend Remembered For Notorious Publicity Stunt
Tommy Gibbons’ grandson, Tim Gibbons, says the fight was first devised as a ploy.
“This was just meant to be a publicity stunt,” Tim said.
"Dempsey could beat anybody he could hit. The only reason that he couldn't do anything with fellows like Tunney or Greb or myself was he couldn't hit us." - Tom Gibbons in a radio interview in 1949
