Twenty-six What a **** mess Kisses hugs with grubby little hands Manners and crayons No sleep and working Trying to follow the chase for something we all crave Hypocritically misbehaving The money seems disgusting Yet makes others smile while holding it tightly We breed we try to succeed What does it all mean Beats me I'm only twenty-six I know nothing Paper and pen scrape up my hand Bruises hidden and blended in No words of admiration or advice Just listen to the lost and pretend to be found Isn't that what makes the world go around
