I'm always in a rush to work, In such a rush to drive home, In a rush to die to make famous my poems. I'm raising a glass to silly victories And the same glass to the same loss Because either way it's my history And I'm just like a bystander Seeing the boat off.
I wonder if life is so fragile, Why we are caught in a balance act? Why do we smile so much to say it's fine, Too embarrassed to admit we all cry? Stuck in a generation of losers and debt But ****** we try, I really do try. I'm making amends with my demons, Trying to keep my head on right But sometimes I replay a kid Saying I was an inconvience to life And sometimes when awake in a real dark night, I start to see those words shedding light.
Today, I took out the trash Then compacted my remaining sentiments Into one piece of poetry I'm letting go of any resentment, And tired of repenting for being me Took off the shackles on my feet And leaped out into the free world
