I Feel like $100 in the pocket of a gambling loser Drunk at a casino 9AM. And Two Something's are playing Tug-o-war with my heart-strings Nostalgic summer flings, bye bye Goodbye young kings I Feel like no one ever Discovered fire in my life & it's still Dark in here A dark, drunk destiny? "Please not me" $100 can go far - But I'm anxious. There's always that dwindling thought that There's a diabolical grand hand Reaching down from above in malice. And like The Rapture, or an alien abduction, Being taken.

$100
I Feel like $100 in the pocket of a gambling loser Drunk at a casino 9AM. And Two Something's are playing Tug-o-war with my heart-strings Nostalgic summer flings, bye bye Goodbye young kings I Feel like no one ever Discovered fire in my life & it's still Dark in here A dark, drunk destiny? "Please not me" $100 can go far - But I'm anxious. There's always that dwindling thought that There's a diabolical grand hand Reaching down from above in malice. And like The Rapture, or an alien abduction, Being taken.
I would like to note: the first two lines I found scratched into the rust of an old abandoned school bus on the outskirts of Metro Detroit (where I live). No idea who wrote it, but it left a dent in my mind. I figured, "I'll make that into a poem"
