Alone, I cope
With a clouded mind and a shred of hope
I gripped, that rope
And it felt like home
Cheers to all my absent friends
-the recompense I'll never get
-the distance and the dissonance between my kin
A toast, to those
That are looking down from the totem pole
Lo and behold, this parting note:
If I’m not living now, then I'm dying slowly
No need for sympathy, though this path is lonely
And I don't give a damn what you think you told me
Here’s the simple truth - you don't fucking know me
Been standing still for far too long
Won't hold my breath, won't hold my tongue
Recollect what keeps me strong
And contemplate how far I've come
