attempting to connect

to pick the pieces up

trying to contend

with the mad faces that rule

don’t have to much fun

or it won’t be real

suffer just enough

to forget how to feel

smoke one more cigarette

to ignore the path ahead

sleep a little more

to feel a little less

and in the end you can say

I had what one would call

a life
