An Apple Thought Rotten

"An Apple Thought Rotten"

Trailing away from a path all to common 
for the soul of this man about town
goes the way of the heart of an apple thought rotten 
without so much as a sound.

Now all alone I reflect in a hush 
not knowing whether I am happy or sad.
I am taking my time. Why should I rush? 
There is still so much life to be had.

Once stuck in a world of limited ideals 
always caring what others might say, 
both Heaven and Hell right at my heals, 
I finally got out of the way.

Though the path I have chosen has been rough and less traveled, 
it has seldom been lonely or blue. 
Some drink and some drugs I'll admit I have dabbled, 
but good God I've had fun....Have you?

So as I stray from the path the common folk take 
and your apalled at what you might see. 
Remember my life is the one that I made 
and I'm at the least....100 and 10% me.
