gladly taking the available corner unit

a stain in the drain
will always remain 
forever in pain,
so i refrain
from going into a different lane

i stay to myself
by choosing to dwell so well in a corner shelf
bringing forth to me personal wealth
in the form of So Much Better Health

for nowadays, all it seems to take is a slight thump
for someone to snap, go in a rage, and try to break my crown, and try to rearrange my face and kick my rump
when the tide turns and accountability becomes very real said someone goes on a spiel and for some odd reason starts blaming trump
i guess that is why elton called it the blues and i found out that i wore those shoes and as a result i consider myself Over The Hump
