Going Down

I am a homeless man its sad but its true to think back to not all that long ago I never would have knew I've screwed up everything I've done nothing goes per plan now I'm nothing, a nobody it seems my colors have all ran My son has lost respect for me says he's ashamed that I'm his father my daughter hardly speaks to me I'm just not worth the bother lost everything that is important to me my family, home, bikes and my truck its funny how fast you lose your friends when your a man down on his luck I wish I had done things differently they say hind-sight is twenty-twenty now I'm out, living on my own instead of with my honey I pen these words, not for pity rather in writing I defer some of the pain besides its just a way to pass some time as I slowly go down the drain
