Poem
I tried to warn you But did you listen Tried my level best to tell the truth and not perpetuate the lie I told you I am not the man you perceive or believe me to be Come to think of it not quite sure I ever was Maybe once upon a time way back when I was just a boy That suit shoe's hat and key don't fit And yet again don't hold your breath honestly i don't think he is ever coming back or where in fact he went at all The showman here before you is not real it's all an act that crawls back into the shadow's when alone To the point now it drains me and i struggle to remember my lines or even play fulfill the role I was born to play It drives me round the bend and full disclosure no I have not the will or desire to being to mend The crack's are ripping open laid bare for all to see so hold on tight the end is nigh Not long now before I am muted out completely for the greater good If I had anywhere else to go I would have left long ago but that would only add to other's woes and so too mine And how to end this morbid tale of sorrow But rather with what the me they and both I wish and want to know leaving them wanting more With 1 or 2 witty quips surreptitious or humorous anecdote or jokes to send them gladly on there way happier as I have somehow inadvertently made their day No point in making other's feel blue as well just because I am as that may be one and only saving grace and gift I haven't yet lost And surely then only hell awaits to break my fall because I must be then so far gone rock bottom is as far away as heaven's locked staircase gate I did try to warn you from the very start But did you listen Come to think of it no neither so did I I seen the very same warning signs In fact I was indeed he who pointed them out clear as day But yet again i can not be told Never take the time to listen And choose to rather follow the blind
