Iceberg

12/7/22 All over the map Can't stay on track Still inside a shack Drinking yak While it's pitch black Listening for the sound of a songbird Not living long term Still taking a wrong turn Giving into strong urge Honestly I'm barely mad I'm just very sad Truth be told, I am an extraordinary man Meanwhile most are off in fairyland Out of context A continual process And contest Of nonsense Rarely done in good conscience Jiminy I smoke like a chimney Round the clock consistently I drink like a fish Blackout when blitzed Then wake up unable to reminisce I do it all again shift after shift Hit after hit Sip after sip This cycle continues to loop on As I move along Through the fog With a few dogs While inside a gulag It's been too long Now I grew strong Talk is cheap It's beyond belief Just sought relief Yet the cost is steep At another junction No longer able to function From overconsumption Behind the scenes or in public They always judge quick Then jump in Always trying to pull some trick I handle these munchkins With a front kick Easily they're done with What was once hid Left them perplexed by what I just did Unlike all these hypocrites Went through the thick of it This is an iceberg and that's just the tip of it
