The Price of Living
t
wo bucks short of the price of living
my mistakes feed off of my own misgivings
trapped in lies and crocodile tears
attempting to escape from wallowing fears
waiting for the saviors of tomorrow
my responsibility to drown my sorrow
the numbness leaks throughout my mind
searching for pieces that I hope to find
fed up with anticipation of elusive freedom
and tied down by sinews of fear to come
