Default A high school reunion of sorts? Thoughts on poem?

High School Reunion

Within my eyes
I trace the lines
A snapshot of
What was my life
four years as nobody
fourteen years left me
Two minutes away
In someone else’s bed sheets
Nothing has changed
Driving down streets
Of my childhood beat
Haunted by failings
Waiting for mail brings
An unemployment check
Pays interest at best
Doesn’t impress,
Collectors or the opposite sex
Watch my ship sailing
From a dock made of pavement
A check engine light
In my retinas blazing
As children much taller
Out from the school holler
black straps falling
From my slumping shoulders
Strange they look older
Time for me to fold here
Come take much more
Scraping the bottom
Of a shard strewn floor tears-
Same old deal
School on the right
Of the same old hill
A vicious circle
That keeps me still
Try to make something
But I never will
My high school a reminder
I am nobody still

Yea, you are a somebody, cause most of those at that reunion couldn't produce anything like this poem. It struck me like a train. Wonderful, wonderful write. And listen, some of the 'successful' ones are living on plastic. Times are hard everywhere right now; we can only hope it will get better. God bless you til your cup overflows. XOX

Now Dragon Lady - you listen here. You are someone who writes good poetry - don't forget it. Keep writing and don't let the baggage of the past hold you back

Exciting and somehow nostalgic; life is a meandering journey,an experience and sometimes adventurous; sometimes you win,other not.

What is the question I am not able to understand?
You can get high school reunion in this site.
