i've been a mess

i've been amiss

i've been away

(dramatic pause)

i've been making up words

i've been making up lines

i've been ignoring the rules

and watching for signs

i’ve been snow-blind under

this never ending sun

i’ve been this place, this space

and i’ve been what i’ve begun

i've been vacant

i've been filled

i've been where i am now

bedraggled and unfulthrilled

i've been empty

i've been full

was never really hot

but i can try to do cool

i've been here

i was hidden in my eyes

i've been there

and this should come as no surprise

i've been every...

(i really wanted to but you know)

i've been a hero

and also the villain

i've been stressed, yes

but i'm better at chillin’

i've been keeping it real

i've been holding it close

i've been letting it loose

and tighter than most

i've been getting a grip

i've been palms open wide

i missed all the swing play

but i've been on the slide

i've been running round in circles

i've been straight down the line

all this stop and go, this to and fro

i've been pretending it's all fine

i've been pacified

i've been classified

i've been cooked

and i've been fried

i've been a willing partaker

of the things that i crave

i've been weak

and i’ve been brave

i haven't been to Venice

but i've been to Dubbo twice

it's like a Santa’s list

cause i've been naughty and i've been nice

i've been amiss

i've been a mess

i've been away

end

    I'm so sorry but what does unfulthrilled mean? I Googled it but only the meaning for unfulfilled keep showing up 😅😅 Loved your poem!
