$1.54 in pocket change. An empty wallet. A can of travel-sized body spray. A pen. Some gum And an mp3 player. I take my silent journey at twelve-thirty, And use my pocket change as an excuse. I smoke a pair of cigarettes, One there and one back. And I buy a drink to hide the fact, That I'm sad and confused and unable to cope. With my daily thoughts and my loss of hope. I **** myself a puff at a time. And spent all but my last dime. I hate myself more and more every day.
