sitting on a street corner stupid drunk off black lager ****** mood, no food washed up, out of luck always high, never dry one more hit to feel alive drinking away every cent struggling to pay the rent start to steal from next of kin anything to blaze again living in a constant peril eyes becoming fierce and feral focused on the next high there’s no reason to survive stuck in stages of denial passerby’s all call you vile waking up covered in bile you can’t make that extra mile settle for less, aspire for more life is full of open doors with a little hint of effort everything could be much better trying hard to just ignore when ****** buddies offer more get up, turn, and walk away this isn’t how your life will stay things could be charming and happy and swell you can escape reality’s hell it doesn’t take a genius to show or tell cynical hatred never does well so turn down the needles and pass on the pills you’ll feel so much better, I promise you will don’t let your negative side consume you allow the positive light to shine through
