This is my list of reasons
Potential to change with the temperature
Of different seasons
Flipping furniture enraged by the outcomes
Penetrate your world sorry you have been outdone
Split the difference it always stays the same
one person plays words in two man games
Fame and fortune, is the notion
that most forget you’ve already played
Your position and the glisten starts to fade

I’ll be alright without you – but I have a tendency to lie
Oxycotin and rye, with a prescription to get high

Flying by the window, the wind pushes the clouds
The Earth rotates its time for you to bow
For the years you spent certain of all
Unclench your fist and take a curtain call

Fall down –
And don’t you dare get back up
And if you need an open hand
I guess you are out of luck

My certainty – spent the last month guessing
Investing in your future
Is a stock that is bound to lose value
Allow me to
Direct your attention
To a pension
Program poised to pertain
To you, me and anyone else who has ever been told to strive
Humble yourself to the truth
as much as you love your youth
Nobody gets out alive

Take Five
Then read it over
In your own voice
