alcohol on the breath
brains little death
clear the head a while
give me a fake smile
have you ever known
what happiness is shown
to those that laze around
never letting life get them down
or does your heart beat fast
taking every breath like the last
a life of great esteem
a messy life, unclean
I am one of the last
it is rare for me to be abashed
in the face of what I've done
my heart pursues the unknown
So deny me your fickle fun
as you drink away the day long
when life comes to a tally
my list will be long, yours barely.
