I now understand how to fall
so that I can land gracefully.

I have perfected the small art
of how to lose with dignity,
and walk away with ease
without needing to look back,
not even once.

I had hoped that these talents,
however small and uneconomic,
would be enough to see me through
right to the end of this wasted life.

I concur that 'wasted life' could do with changing into something else, as it sounds too emo or cliched.
