Hellhound

5/16/21 It's been an ugly couple Of years and a yucky struggle Stomping in muddy puddles With bloody knuckles Before smelling and picking honeysuckle Got to wise up, and make the money double Despite the stress and hunger pains in my tummy muscles It's seeming stark Occasionally I'm seeing stars Far away like Mars As I'm proceeding in the dark Yet another human being's art It's always beating, yet now it's a bleeding heart Usually staying low-key instead of playing the leading part Meanwhile people working with or without a cleaning cart It began, passed or soon the meeting starts It was a free-for-all or there was a seating chart Accidents happen whether in or out of a speeding car Some people eating carp As it either did or didn't reach the freezing mark Might've made others, but never made myself proud I'm alive, but inside feeling dead now Head in the clouds or head down Burned through much more than ten pounds Dusted myself off and got up every time I fell down Often I was working on the next round The drink I failed to set down Expectations low, from here to the next town It makes me upset how Continually I am let down Stoned and angry, eyes are bloodshot red now As I get around with a Hellhound They're so quick to tell me that I am Hell-bound Meanwhile they're all spellbound Towards an oath people never did or they felt bound People staying composed or having a meltdown I've done good and I did wrong It's odd The opportunity is gone From being far too withdrawn As I continue to live on Over the years, helped out a lot of sick dogs
