pressures abound
pain surrounds
give me an out,
i'll take it.
elixir of gold cuts my throat
soothing mind 'n nerves
throws me a line, inflated float,
bashes barriers perverse
caressing wounded dignity
suppresses unconscious malignity
blinds me of untoward
unsavoury umbilical cord
i'm talking too loud - i know it,
social more - i'll blow it!
i know i'll regret this
meanwhile, ignorance's bliss!
so drink up while you can,
your worries in trash-can,
kiss your opponent and watch him go,
live in the moment, go with the flow.
