Before I allowed
The world to break me,
I was stronger, keen and able
Now, incoherent and disabled.
The dream was just a fable,
Just put food on the table,
Alone, reminisce and ramble...
To the breeze, I mumble.
Another ale to soothe the blues,
Another cone to poke the bruise,
Another cigarette to calm the nerves,
Another circle to dance within.
Now, incoherent and disabled,
I was stronger, keen and able,
Before I allowed,
The world to break me.
