I'll be movin on

Hard enough on myself
I don't need you
to tell me the rest,
Once again about my lack of wealth.

My life it is too precious
to be hanging in,
If you don't like who I am
it's time for me to be
movin on.

I'm not trying to offend you
but you always act so insulted

We all have our areas of insanity,
But yours keep hurting me,
I guess it's time to pack on up,

"Good try"
in destroying me

I'll finally be laughing
all the way down the road.

Feels so good to be free,
A thousand pounds lifted off of me,
No grief
no mourning
no looking back
that's the way
you know
it's over
at
last.

Approached in
the parking lot
by a man,
Assault in his eyes.

"Here's $25
"Ought to get you high. "
Punched me straight on.

"I'm not a drug addict -
I'm a hungry man,
My brain's been scrambled since
I was 10,
Society's rules
are too complex for
me to bend,
I don't know what I'm supposed to do,
I'm running
I'm stopping
I keep trying to jump through all these hoops
I keep finding myself out of the loop,
No one's told me
the secret yet.
I've been lied to many times.

"I'm going to take your money tonight,
But I will leave you with the rest,
My hunger is an insatiable spot,
Desperation rots,
Get back in your car
drive away,
Don't tell a soul
what you saw
here
today. "
