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!
I rapped this in my head. Loved the rhythm! Your word choices are always so clever and on point. Stellar stuff
I thank you for this...and wonder about my own diet!
