I've examined my life on some paper,
To be honest, it's not looking good,
Bills need paying, no food in the fridge,
I feel the draining of my blood.
Lost my job on this Monday,
No income to pay all these debts,
If I was a gambler, the casino would call,
And grant me some free Roulette bets.
I sit and stare out the window,
At everyone else in the street,
Does anyone care about me?
As I listen to ignorant feet.
Drastic measures are needed,
My home will be first there's no doubt,
The rent goes unpaid for another month,
It won't be long 'til I'm out.
I need a new job, priority 1,
There must be something out there?
The hustle and bustle of everyone else,
Is not helping me to prepare.
As I pack my life into boxes,
Discarding memories like yesterdays news,
You realise that all you had,
Is a trail of useless clues.

In darkness
The moon's silhouette
Shines through tree branches
Casting an eerie glow
This is the place
Where
I saunter homeward with
Confidence in my stride.
Day is waning and night is
Creeping in on me like
A tiger on its prey.

It's the only way to describe
The feeling
For no reason at all
Or so it seems
The moment comes
Fear
Bubbling up in my chest
Toying

only alone do you believe there are
secret messages written under your skin
and it's poisonous
