Already Took Note

11/23/20


I know how to take one, but I'm not a joke
I once was, but I am no longer broke
I didn't but sometimes I smoke
I was asleep, and now I'm woke
I was silent, but if need be I spoke
I was weak, now I'm strong like a healthy oak
I prefer animals over folks
People prod and poke
Attack and choke
Because they want to see you croak
Too many fakes, flakes and snakes
I already took note

Don't act like you know me because of what I wrote
Nope it doesn't mean I'm a dope

Behind all this alcohol and these clouds of smoke
I've been doing my best to cope
Getting across a tightrope
Gaining traction on a steep slope

Much more than just a bloke
I'm ready to take care of business, not one to hope

I don't like what I'm seeing through this scope
It's f****ng gross
What people will do for their fix and dose
Or so many other things even if it puts them close
To deaths embrace and approach

Not like any, I'm unlike most
I'm not just going to sink or float
I'm going to do both

I'm only human
There's no need for excuses
The truth is
I'm seeking success, among so much turmoil and ruin

Still I float around like a ghost
Don't need an invisible cloak
Even if I took it off, would they ever notice? No, they won't
